My second iteration. Cleaning to be underneath the towel rails. That makes sense. Moved the fridge and the maching/printing table around to the right. Changed the lathe to be used over the end of the bench. Not much room in front of the 3D printer, but you don't have to stand there while it is doing its thing. I may swap the fridge and the machining/printing bench yet. Not sure. And the 'doing' area. The power that was brought in for tha spa was 30A I think, so there will be more power than I need. I will have to check how level the benches are as well as find a spot for the movement testing rig to go. The tiles do have a fall toward the drain so I will have to work something out to be able to level the rig easily no matter where I put it. I'm also going to cut some slots in the bottom for pendulum clearance and some squares in the top section to be able to better see the movement. I'm getting more excited now. -

Ah i didn't notice that but it was past one i the morning when read it The keyless works used for identification are hidden under the watchmakers side. You would have to disassemble it, you dont need to worry so much about that, doubtful it is a Remontoire as i suggested earlier this morning 🤦♂️ but you never know 😁 -
That is what I have moved to, I said 9010 in my post for the sake of simplicity, but what I actually use is Dr Tillwich 1-3 where I would use 9010 and Dr Tillwich 3-5 where I would use HP1300/D5, similarly I use their B52 grease instead of the Mobius/Molycote ones. Only downside I see is that they are all clear, including the grease, so you need to be a little more careful on how much you apply as it's not so easy to see the oil/grease.
