Another watch problem... (Raymond Weil this time)

Okay, I have another question about a technical problem. My girlfriend's watch suddenly stopped working. Since it is a winding watch, not a battery-powered watch, there is no such thing as a battery drain. It's not a watch she wears every day, so I know it's normal for it to stop as long as she doesn't wear it too much. But even though she tried to wind it and put it on again, this time it did not start to work. Has anyone experienced this problem? What should we do?

It’s a mechanical watch and needs to go to a good watchmaker.

Sometimes a mechanical watch will need a little shake to get the balance wheel swinging.

Just give it a wiggle wiggle wiggle.

You’re still talking about the watch I assume. 🤔

There are few situations where a little wiggle wiggle wiggle is going to cause damage.

Maybe oil dried, you should send to watchmaker

Thank you guys, can you guess how long will it take to change the oil/ repair the watch?
