I would think that would affect the value of a vintage watch??

It is true, not enough is mentioned about aftermarket parts on inside.....It may or may not effect value.... one may not know it has such parts until cleaning and if it is a flip and dip cleaning service for cheap. How could anyone tell...when the watch do not come apart...
Great Points being made...
