Breitling Chronometer with ETA 251.233. 1884. Instructions say calibrate to B73. Problem is chronograph reset button will not work. It's like a virtual button that does not connect. Start side works fine but not reset. Scratching my head on this one.

If the reset button doesn't work when the movements in the case You will have to take it out of the case. See if the button works out of the case and if not you will have to disassemble the movement and see if any of the components associated with the button are broken. Then if that doesn't work it's probably a new movement.

      Thank you!   Yes I did. I did not notice a difference. Although 9415 is advertised as a thixotropic grease (and I did had high hopes for it), the only advantage at this point I see is that its “easier” to apply than an oil (if one does not use epilame). But this is subjective, I guess. What I did notice though, if you apply a bit too much grease, that definitely slows down the movement. Oil in this case is a bit more forgiving, as its super thin, and it would usually just spread out.  Again, imho.

      Mark keeps a close eye on his forum. I'm sure if you asked him he will reply, he might not do it right away but you will receive his answer.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I kind of think the same, the surface under the oil is the same as the surface around the oil. Can epilame both repel and attract , that doesn't quite make sense in simple terms, but is it more complicated than that. When cohesive forces within a liquid are stronger than the adhesive forces of a surface then surface tension is high causing the liquid to bead up. So  an applied epilame coating reduces the adhesive force of a surface inhibiting a fluid to wet the surface. So i guess no epilame cannot both repel and attract . If something is keeping the oil in place on top of an epilamed surface then there must be another reason for that.

      I agree with @JohnR725. Oil on an epilamed surface is essentially the same as water on a waxed surface. The same physical properties are at work (surface tension vs. adhesion).
