A stupid question but lately I heard some people said you can leave the mainspring clean and dry. Just set it back to the barrel it will function just fine. The reason for that is when it's wind-up the spring wont touch each other (I doubt that) so no fiction and thus no need to lubricate the mainspring. Any opinion?

Again thank you all very much for taking time out of your day to give me all this information for free. I'm not used to this. This is helping me so much! Jasper

CousinsUK: 11 x Ø4.50mm x Ø2.50mm, SS C528GZ1 1.1mm is a thread size. It's possible it didn't have a case tube, but it wouldn't have been water resistant. Hard to tell from the photo but the caseback looks like a screw-on so decent WR is possible . How's the gasket? Definitely want to have a look at that crystal also.

Question
gary17 21
I
have started replacing jewels and was talking to someone who said push jewel out and if the replacement jewel is slightly loose you can tighten the hole with a oval headed (convex) punch.
How big should the punch be to close the hole slightly and do you start with a large punch moving down to a smaller punch. Similar to riveting a balance wheel to the balance staff?
Or am i totally mistaking something?
Cheers
Gary
