Hi. Is there special things to know to oil a watch?

Thnk you.

There are many special things to know and learn to be able to "Oil" a watch... the first is how to take a watch apart and put it back together.

Oiling (or servicing) a watch requires that the movement be taken completely apart to the last screw and gear, like this for a 7750 for example...

Then you clean the parts in an Ultrasonic cleaner with special watch cleaning chemicals and two rinses, dry all the parts, inspect them, then assemble the watch and oil and grease the parts as you do the assembly, test each subpart as it's assembled, make adjustments etc.... Oiling a 7750 requires 6 types of specialty oils and greases.

Then after assembly you test and adjust the watch on a timing machine like this one...

A good way to start to learn to oil a watch, is to take the course at Time Zone as indicated above...

I have to find time to re-post my 2836 teardown and servicing post, then it will be clear to everyone the level of work involved.

Have a good weekend,

Autos = hell... just send it to The Zigmeister or find a local watchsmith that'll work on reps... manual wind movements (6497) are marginally easier
