{if applicable} "Starts running" means exactly that, not tested, not checked for length of running time, not checked for anything but whether it starts running when wound. When I say that a watch needs "at least" something, it means that I have not done a complete survey of any damage, just a quick scan, my watchmaker charges 100.00 an hour and at that rate a full survey is not do-able.
I've been accused of neglegence due to the brevity of my descriptions. If you have a specific question, PLEASE ASK.
