I have an Elgin railroad pocket watch in a silver case. I forget the number of jewels; stem winder. It worked when I got it, but I took it to a local jeweler who advertised watch repair just for cleaning and lubrication. It came back beautiful! And it didn't cost much, to my surprise, somewhere around $50. The old fellow was able to tell me all about it, what makes it railroad grade, and when it was made. Just look for a real watch repairman or jeweler, not a mall kiosk that only change batteries in new watches.
Very cool watch, BTW!
