I calc it as nearly 20x more expensive, so worth remembering when you've used the 9504 😀 I'm oiling a 620 now, in between typing. One problem with smaller (ladies) watches, is that due to the smaller part sizes, the frictional forces are relatively larger - especially on the smaller balance due to it's much lower inertia. Therefore parts have to be really clean and free from dust and dirt to get good performance. As a beginner I started on pocket watches, because they are larger and easier to start on, and that big balance is a lot easier to get swinging nicely. -

Looks a lot like an FEF 150 (Fleurier). Or a Buren 35 -
Great, thanks. Lube away, I shall 😁 The difference in quantity between the DX and the 9504 don't really matter to me -- I'll still need years to finish the 5ml of 9504. But yea, even when ignoring the difference in quantity, 9504 is still more than double the price...😑 -
Yes sure!! Thanks for looking at it! Here you go.

9504 looks similar to DX, and it does say use it for cannon pinions. So yes, carry on, lube away 😀 I use DX as I saw it recommended (first by Mark), and it's relatively cheap - you can buy a 50g tube for about £14 whereas 5ml of 9504 is about £32
