lillo Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) I have an ARF Daytona and it is very beautiful The only problem is that it is very noisy I don't have a watchmaker in my town who can lubricate and fatten me I searched for a tutorial that explains how to do it, to do it myself Unfortunately I didn't find it Do you know a tutorial that explains it? Or do you know how to do it and can you tell me? A watch lubricant is easily found, but I don't know exactly where to put it Edited October 4, 2019 by lillo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceejay Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 The only part likely to be making a noise is the spinning rotor for winding the watch whilst it's on your wrist. This is on the back of the movement. Unless this part has a lot of play in it and is contacting the case then it's just the bearings in the centre causing the noise. These can be lubricated, but...you have the use a very light-weight lubricant which isn't going to reduce the noise the rotor makes significantly. It should be a tiny (minuscule drop on the end of a very fine needle) on just 2 of the bearings in the centre of the rotor. If you over oil or use a thick lubricant then this will lead to trouble with friction and a build up of dirt on the bearings and eventually stop the rotor from turning efficiently. Recommended lubricant is Moebius 9010 but this is expensive. Research an alternative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
