hiker01 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 eta doesn't reccomend it.........but it works at least it makes the watch wearable! who cares if the movement lasts forever if it sounds so bad i won't wear it! go for it..... what's ther to lose? i like to go against the grain and do things my way. i seriously doubt this can cause any harm in any way unless extreme cold i would think the rotor may not spin well.... other than that......... Flav or anyone! Have you tried this on the Asian Chopard MM XL? All the owners of this watch knows it sound like a diesel engine! This might be the fix???? Anyone?> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturb Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) Well I happen to like the rotor "sound" (I don't call it noise ) my 7753 makes. And I love it when the rotor really gets going, like when you make a sudden motion, and almost tears your arm off. PS I am being serious. I was thinking the same. I love the fact that the watch is 'alive' on my wrist. I sometimes get worried if I cant hear or feel it chattering away and it is reassuring when you feel it fire back into life.

Christie Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 just throwing something out there.... what about WD40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain swoop Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 WD-40 isn't a lubricant. As for comparing it to bearings in an aircraft engine, why? The original watches are very reliable and theyr run for years. Because the bearing makes a noise doesn't mean it's faulty. It means it is made to a certain specification and tolerance. Obviusly as the watch is reliable the manufacturers have specified the bearing correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Don't use household lubricants inside of watches. They can spread by creeping from part to part until they contaminate something important. Use watch lubricants in a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Too funny. The WD40 question dates back to 2010. And anyone silly enough to try WD-40 deserves what they get. The number and types of different lubricants with their various characteristics was surprising to me when explained to me by a knowledgeable watchsmith. As always leave it to the experts unless you are willing to buy all the proper materials and work through a numbe of junk movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain swoop Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I know it's an oldish thread but it just seemed to cut off with the WD-40 question and was left hanging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
