Lubricants Avail - No Charge!

Recommended Posts

All-

I've been inactive for a while, but starting up again. I just replaced some of my expired and expiring lubricants. I also replaced my 9010, 9415 and HP-1300 with the fluorescent 
versions.

So....I have what are essentially full bottles of the following:

Moebius 9415 - expires 12/2021
Moebius HP-1300 - expires 10/2021
Moebius 9010 - expires 12/2020
Moebius 8217 - expired 11/2019
Moebius 8200 - expired 08/2019
Moebius D-5 - expired 09/2019

I am happy to ship any or all of the above to someone that will be able to put them to use. I'm sure others here will be able to offer opinions as to whether or not the expired
lubricants can/should be used. Please be considerate and only ask for what you are truly in need of. This stuff is very expensive, so I am hoping it will not go to waste.

I am happy to ship within the US for free. I can do overseas if you can PayPal me the cost of shipping.

Hi  JJM  tell her the dog ate it.    A very generous offer SStakoff,  My theory on oils is the same as food the date is a guide if it tastes ok smells ok eat it and at 76 and still going (just):D

Hi there watchweasol I bet your amplitude has never been better :sleep:

Will be fun to hear you opinion on the fluorescent lube when you tested it . 

Did the Keyless assembly today, so I used the fluorescent HP-1300. Works great! Shows up under a black light as bright green - very easy to see where it is, and where it isn't. So - I'm a fan!   Will let you know how the 9010 looks when in jewels later.

The fluorescent doesn't show well under camera - so the next video won't do it justice :(

I just bought a bottle of 9010 . Should last me a year or more. So next time maybe. Need some 1300 soon. So maybe test that . What kind of light source do you use. Is there a special ultra expensive Bergeon lamp.

Ha! I’m sure you can find an overpriced Bergeon if you try! I opted for the $12 version.

This worked fine.

    • Oh nice. I have a similar wedge style stump for my staking tool, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks!
    • Thank you all for the replies!  Very informative! True enough, the Gamsol took some time to evaporate and does leave a residue. So not all naphtha are created equal!  Need to find alternatives then. i was able to try Hexane recommended by Alex and it seems great.  I wonder what the cons are?
    • Yeah, I saw that in the tech sheet but I don't see how it can be adequately cleaned with the friction pinion still in place. I've accidentally pulled the arbor right out of the wheel once when I used a presto tool to try and remove it. Mark shows how he does it with the Platax tool. Those are a little too pricey for me so I got one of these from Aliexpress and I just push down on the arbor with the end of my brass tweezers. That usually gets it most of the way out and then I just grab the wheel with one hand the and the friction pinion with the other and gently rotate them until it pops off. Probably not the best way but it's seemed to work for me so far.    
    • Thanks, Jon Sounds like a plan. Obviously I'll have the face on so do you think gripping with the holder will create any problems, but I will check in the morning to see how feasible it is but I assume it only needs to be lightly held. As for holding the movement instead of the holder won't be possible in this scenario as one hand will be puling on the stem while the other pushes the spring down. That was my initial concern is how the hell can I do this with only one pair of hands. All the other times I've had to remove the stem hasn't been a problem, apart from the force required to release the stem from the setting lever, but now I need to fit the face and hands its sent me into panic mode. If it had the screw type release things would be a lot simpler but that's life 😀   Another thing I will need to consider is once the dial and hands are fitted and the movement is sitting in the case I will need to turn it over to put the case screws in. I saw a vid on Wristwatch revival where he lightly fitted the crystal and bezel so he could turn it over, is this the only option or is there another method?      
    • Hi Jon, do You think that relation spring torque - amplitude is linear? I would rather guess that the amplitude should be proportional to the square of the torque. I had once idea to check it, but still haven't.
