Hi, Tony. I've repaired watches for years. As for washing a shutter like a watch movement...I know of no reason it won't work under the proper set of conditions. Please forget the idea that a watchmaker takes a movement totally to bits to clean it. Movement cleaning machines have been around a long time, and they are very much the professional way to go. I think mine was made in the 1930s. The same company still makes a cleaning machine today (or as of the last brochure I saw) and boasts it can clean 16 complete movements at one time.
