The Seiko 7s26C Tech sheet calls for 3 watch oils. Seiko s-4 , Seiko s-6, AO-3 Moebius A

I think the Moebius A is Moebius 9010 

Does anyone know for sure what the equivalents oils would be?

Right now I have Moebius d-5 and Moebuis 8000 on hand. Can I use these ?

If you use the search facility there a few posts on this subject. For me  if you use 9010 & D5 in the usual places & braking grease for the barrel you won,t be far wrong.  Lubricants always seems to cause raised blood pressures amongst horologists with many,many different opinions.

Being I already have the 8000 and D5 can I use those two for short term practice, this watch will be coming apart a few times I'm sure. .I am working on my first wrist watch. So far so good ...One thing I understand now is why they call it a "Balance Cock"  Because that's where the pain is when trying to install it.

I am sure that would be fine. I have added a couple of PDF,s which will really get you confused.The moebius specs pdf is handy when comparing like for like. I personally like the HP range of lubricants but everyone to there own preference.

I fine so far that the watches I am working with are easy to rebuild . The thing that confuses me most is oiling... Go  Figure

      Gamblin Gamsol for cleaning?

      By tomh207 · Posted

      I don’t know anything about this product, however assuming you have it if you put a drop on a mirror or piece of glass lying flat on a table and leave it to evaporate if it leaves any sort of residue it is not really suitable for watch part cleaning.   Tom

      I'm going to be setting up a decent little workshop here at home.

      Well I put the spa on Gumtree (selling service) to try and sell it as it only needs a recirc pump to get it going. However, it weighs circa 250kg, so there's 4 fairly strong guys, and I would have to remove the sliding door in the room completely to be able to get it out, as well as clearing out a multitude of potted plants and the Alfresco outdoor setting to be able to get it out. Then move nearly everything in the back of the garage to be able to push it through to the front of the house. I would also need to hire furniture skates to be able to shift it around as carrying it is out of the question. Then someone would need a trailer to get it to their place as you won't get it on the back of a ute. So, the only answer is, out with the reciprocating saw and cut it all up into manageable pieces. Crying shame as it is in really good nick. I was only asking $1,500 and only got two bites, but it would only take something to go wrong with removing the sliding door etc that everything I make on the sale could go out the door on repairs etc. It would have been nice to be able to turn it into tools etc, but que sera sera. I don't know about the rest of the world, but there just seems to be very little interest from people wanting to buy things secondhand.

      I would like to see the movement. The watch is the movement. Anyone can print a name on a dial and sell it as "the maker".

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Thanks for your answers! There seems to be a contradiction between these two answers, so perhaps I need to clarify. The flat and convex jewels look identical on the side facing away from the pivot shoulder. That is, there is an oil reservoir. I don't know if that changes anything but I thought it was safest to clarify since I didn't include a picture of the jewels from the opposite side.

      unfortunately paying attention to details bumps up the cost. Which is why they shortchange on manufacturing steps if they can.
