A fob watch
my great-grandfather bought in 1920 or 1921. The glass has gone and it loses about 3 minutes over the course of the day. Haven't worn a wrist watch since the day I was given it.

Something to think about..
A service is probably a good idea at this point...

All the various moving parts in watches need checked and lubricated every so often, so you are probably long overdue with your great-grandfathers watch, and it is something I would rather suck up and pay for rather than risking the watch wearing out completely...

At the same time you can get it regulated to a much better accuracy too :)

Yeah
I've been saving up to get it serviced. Last time it was done was about 6 or 7 years ago. Need to get some new glass put in to it too.
