Another use for a tumbler

I have a kinetic watch that I don't wear daily, sometimes several days. I'm told this is the worst thing you can do to one--not wear it. Sure enough the capacitors became flat or whatever they do and it wouldn't accept a charge even after shaking it several hundred times. I put it in a plastic bag and put into my tumbler as a last resort. It charged up and works good as new again.

Is it true that your self winding watch use to crap out also even when you were waring it??

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

Reloaders are people who never give up and explore all available alternatives. Good thinking!
