Wuba Warmink watch broken, what could be the problem?
Hello everyone,
I received a Wuba Waminka table clock through an estate. Unfortunately, it's overwound?! In other words, it can't be wound up anymore, so it seems to be wound all the way. However, if you move the hands manually, the melody works.
What could be broken or cost to repair or what else would I get for the broken watch?
Visually, the watch is in excellent condition.

When it's pulled up to the stop, it's NOT overturned, it's just not running, it's gonna take a bump, or it's a little resin.
Broken would be if she fell down, for example, but this is also often repairable for large watches.
I wouldn't recommend turning the hands if she didn't want to run.
Well, big watches sometimes just need some oil. Watch!
PS: It has a floating plant, easy to reoil. Let's go. The round thing. Do you have both keys, everything raised, not just the gong??
How and where do I oil them? Do I have to screw them up? What oil do you take? Do I have to remove the resinized oil?
There, where the spring is, the rest is seated, the movable round oscillating part. You show it in the photo. Come on without screwing. Use a bit of clean wipe, float, and sewing machine oil or a very light oil. Watch oil is mostly for wristwatches.
Look at the work.
Thank you, I'll read it. Just got a feedback that the watchmaker wants 250€ for the repair.
First try yourself, watchmakers often go according to the estimated value of the watch. Your watch is a jewel!
Beautiful and rare, unique watch, visual. The work is not precise, it is uncomplicated.
What do you mean "Jewel"
Google Schwebegang-Werk, there are small videos.
The movement is either heavily mudded or the suspended anchor is defective.
When the tension spring has been fully raised and it does not run anything to do with it!
A complete general overhaul at the good watchmaker nearby would cost over 200€.
At the clock you can't Case without experience! If the movement is stopped or the suspended anchor is defective, it will not help you oil any further!
If you just take the work apart, all the parts fly around your ears or even into your face! Before that you have to relax the 2 tension springs.
But better it bring her to the watchmaker and leave her for approx. Bring 200€ or sell them for 20€ on Ebay.
This watch is neither antique nor as valuable her watch would have come from the 1970s. For there was only the suspension anchor at the beginning of the 1950s. And from the watches you can also find in masses on Ebay or other sales platforms. Such watches were produced in the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR in mass.
Decide if you want to keep it as an inheritance, sell for 20€ or even repair it for approx. €200?
You need to know what's more important to you.

You've already made the diagnosis. If she's overturned, bring her to the watchmaker, and he fixes her.
