When you started getting interested in watches where there any basic mistakes you made?



I cringe now, but I did spray one watch movement with WD40 to see if that would get it working [more than once to be honest]

I also thought that a watch was valued by its depth rating so a watch that was 300m was better than one rated 200m
and therefore should be more expensive.



I cant be the only one, what's your secret shame?
