At least it wasn't too expensive. Maybe get an estimate. Watchguy.co.uk could be a good option.
If it looks like it's going to be uneconomical, then return it on the grounds that the seller said:
in working order and keeping good time. I have time checked it over 24 hours and it was less than 2 minutes out..

That's exactly what I was thinking / planning. I took it to a place in Hatton Garden that seemed to be recommended on Google, so I should hear by the end of the week.
I'm wondering whether I should notify the seller now that it's not keeping time and I'm having it checked. Or is it best to wait on the outcome?
At the end of the day I've allocated a budget which includes servicing. I do think with a mid to dark brown strap it will look lovely and strike the right balance of a vintage man's watch for a girl. The ropey Tissot was a better size though.
I can't believe I didn't realise watch guy was English. I'd always assumed he was stateside. I love reading that blog when things are quiet.

I know... sigh
I'm a bit annoyed that instead of sticking to a quite rigorous process of asking questions and focusing on common movements I jumped on what I thought looked best.
There's a rotor for a slightly different 39 jewel 22.19 on eBay that I was wondering about pre-emptively buying just in case.
