just to let you know, oiling alone will not do the job, it is called a service and you need to clean the watch before you oil it, now back to the topic :D :D :D

I guess i have this image in my mind that the Watchsmith just opens the watch from the back, pours some wb-40 in their, shakes it around and pours out the overflow. LOL!!

You can do that yourself with minimal cost :D All that's needed is a can of WD40 and a pair of rubber gloves. Actually a single rubber glove will do.

does hont dropship???

or is there a list with the dealers that do it and the ones that always check the watch first???
Hont does not dropship. He will send you pictures of the watch if requested but it will obviously add time to your order.
i will endorse hont a great dealer and will do a qc check visual and will make sure movement is working but none of the dealers will open clean and service your watch you will need to get this done yourself i have had watches from hont look great but have had movement probs watchsmith has sorted them out

Since we have some Noobs in this post I would strongly recommend not to post this bullshit... Never put any WD40 in a watch, it will be dead. If you guys are telling noobs to do this, you could get banned from RWI... :(

Lighten up man, it's just a joke.

Well, I get the joke, and the smiley, but maybe we have to consider that members who don't speak English as a first language might not get it.

At any rate, let's just go on the record as saying that WD40 should not get poured into a watch. :D Though I did worse to a watch recently, but it was my own fault. :)

MY local watchsmith in denmark has told me, that he will do service
on my watch, which has a asia valjoux 7750 movement, he knows is a rep - he's pretty amazed, would he not have a chance to service the watch?
