Hi Everybody! Henry Fried has in one of his books a little recipe for making a grease that one can use on the outer wall of the mainspring barrel in an automatic watch. It supposedly provides lubrication for proper slippage of the mainspring tail. Has anyone tried this? What is the proper consistency (Fried is not very specific about this because it was probably so common in his day)? Also how would such a preparation compare to Kluber P-125 which, here in the US is really expensive? I won't leave it here. I"m gonna experiment a bit with this and will let you know what I found. Just want to see what other's have found out. Thanks.
