RE: What IS build quality?

It is possible that one reason your watch is keeping accurate time is that is was cleaned and oiled only 3 times over 110 years. I've learned from a master watchmaker that the "trade secret" watchmakers don't want people to know is that fine mechanical watches without complications perform best without oil from the factory but since they are fully oiled from their onset they need to be cleaned and oiled on a regular basis such as the traditional "every 3 to 5 years". It seems counterintuitive but it has been born out in my experience with Omega watches over many decades that keep very accurate time.
