The watch is gaining time - there's a surprising reason! - watch repair course and lessons

As you may see, this movement is in pretty poor condition. It’s an old pocket watch movement, not regularly serviced, the plates are stained with corrosion and I suppose even when it did require repairs, the previous owner may not have invested much to have it done properly.

As you can observe, the watch was gaining at a rate of over 500 seconds per day, the amplitude was way down at around 150 degrees and the beat error was considerable at around 4.5 milliseconds. Clearly there was something wrong.
