My Father-in-Law died in 1971 when my wife was just 9 months old. The watch hasn't been worn since then and i basically sat in an envelope in a box for 45 years. It runs, but I am taking it in to get serviced. The nice thing about it, my 4 year old son will eventually get this watch. It will be the only thing we have that was his Grandfathers, so it will be a nice hierloom.
Indeed it will!
