Hello everybody, 

I tried the search but couldn't come up with anything useful.

I've got the Bergeon set of oilers, and I've noticed each one of them have got a different shape of the tip.

I don't recall any mention to that, could you please advise on when to use which shape of oiler?

Thanks!

There are a couple of types but within each type the tips are shaped the same aside from their size. Generally, if your working on wrist watches you'll probably get the most use out of the smaller sizes.

The 2 types are standard and precision(ergonomic). Either works interchangeably but I think most who have tried both prefer the precision/ergonomic type the best because they seem to pick up and deposit consistent amounts of oil the easiest.

I'm reasonably sure the discussion is come up somewhere in the group. Oilers are interesting because the colors can be different depending upon who manufactured them so that's not standard. The tips can be just about anything depending upon who manufactured them. Then obsessive watchmakers who don't like the tip as it came will reshape it in some form that they like. Or in my case I found a particular one that I liked I bought a whole bunch of them so I won't have to deal with that.

then the other thing no matter what practice is required.

      Kalle Slaap said he is visiting London this week in order to see the exhibition. I was keeping an eye open, hoping to meet him.

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
