I recently obtained a vintage Eterna anutomatic. I noticed it is hard to wind when compared to another Eterna watch of similar age with same movement. It also requires a little shake to get started. Once started it will run about 36 hours if fully wound. Had it "dunk" cleaned and lubed thinking that might help but looks like I wasted 65 bucks. Anyway the watch has an eterna automatic 1414 movement. Any ideas on why it behaves the way it does? Or am just expecting too much from a 50Plus year old piece.
I dont think I would worry if it runs and keeps good time. Not scientific but I believe case dial and hand designs of watches will affect how a movement operates to a small degree. Maybe a shorter stem was used, different gear train etc.
A lot smarter people than me around here hopefully they might chime in:)
