And unfortunately, very convincingly so! It reminds me of travelling in Asia. When asking for directions, everyone points you in a specific direction, whether they have any real idea or not. It's not about trying to deceive you, but rather about avoiding the risk of disappointing you or creating an awkward atmosphere. In other words, the social interaction is prioritised over presenting the facts, which, in my example, would simply be the honest answer: "I have no idea, ask someone else." Either way, it's easy to be misled because AI is extremely competent in certain areas, which builds a strong sense of trust. That, in turn, leads to the mistaken assumption that its expertise is equally strong across all fields — which, as we can clearly see, it is not! @rehajm You never responded to the question I asked in this post. It would be very interesting and greatly appreciated if you could answer it or share your thoughts on it. Thank you! -
I very much doubt that if it is really gold that it would be affected, you need some really nasty stuff for that. As many watches have a type of gold inlay to engraving I trust that any watch cleaning fluid is not going to do any harm to anything during a reasonable exposure, 4-5 minutes in cleaning fluid is unlikely to do any harm to anything but old oil and dirt.

To lubricate it you'll need to completely disassemble it along with removing the hands. If you're going to do that then you may as well just get a new movement. -
I'm surprised it dissolved so quick in such a weak solution. I use about 20 to 25g in 100ml of water so 1:5/1:4 and at 40Deg it takes about 5 Days to dissolve a stem.
