Oh, I'm sure we all grind watches at least a bit. I know I don't service all of mine - but I do service the ones I wear regularly. It would take a fairly long time to do serious damage. Of course, it is cumulative damage...

I actually like it when a seller says that the watch doesn't run and the works seem gummy. That usually means it's still got whale oil in it, which in turn means that it hasn't run since the '50s or earlier.
