Do I need to re-oil if I reassemble several times?

[Lc130]

I'm a beginner and had trouble with a 11DP.  I had to take it apart again a few times.  I oiled it the first time.  Is there a need to re-oil anything?

Thank you

I wouldn’t re oil without first re cleaning the parts you intend to re oil. 

Otherwise you will have way too much oil, and it will be in all the wrong places.

Train jewels and all pivots must be perfectly clean before any lubrication is applied. Also, oil should stay in certain place, filling the gap between the pivot and the jewel. So i would say that you need to clean, dry and oil every jewel on the bridge again. It takes only a minute to clean them as you do not need "full car wash" - just a quick dip, brash and dry it quickly.

Oil is a good host to tiny hair and dirt, which can then get transfered into jewels holes.

think about this as a learning opportunity a opportunity to get better at doing things like lubrication. Once the watch is all perfect clean it again and practice lubrication again. The more times you practice this the better you'll get.
