Indeed, however if you can't get hold of "petroleum ether" lighter fluid is a reasonable substitute. If you are doing things professionally I would stick to quality products, but for the hobbyist, lighter fluid works. You could also use "white gas" Coleman stove fuel or similar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_ether https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphtha

I promise I won’t. I would like to clean up the dial, buy not sure what to use. I won’t sell this, but what would it be worth? Range? I do intending on cleaning it and may switch out the flex strap as it does not fit my big wrists.

Yes, I know it's "obsolete", but I still need it. Ebay has one but it's almost $200 and the guy was a jerk to me.

Question
JJM 16
I'm a newcomer to this pulling watches to bits game, thus haven't invested in any component cleaning apparatus/chems. Could I use acetone as a degreasant?..... Well obviously I could, but do you think I may suffer unforseen complications come reassembly/commissioning time?....... I was thinking small amounts in a oil tray dimple rather than a 50 gallon vat, as the cat may well meet its Waterloo in such a hazardous contraption.
