Hello everyone, I have just joined the forum, which I found courtesy of YouTube.

My friends call me Jon.

I love collecting vintage and modern Watches, I am a particular fan of  Omega and Longines.

I am also very fond of Bulova Tuning fork Watches, I have lots of other pieces as well from all manufactures.

 

 

Here is a picture of my current favourite.

 

Regards from Jon :)

Hello Jon,

Welcome to the forum, I like your Longines, it is supremely functional with a touch of class. I like the Accutrons as well. Here is a pic of one of my Accutrons complete with original bracelet, box and original papers. It was bought in Bishop Stortford for £74.00 in 1970 and I was lucky to pick it up in a mixed lot from an Auction house.

I am sure you will enjoy this forum, especially if you like tinkering with watches, the other members are extremely helpful and a wealth of knowledge is at your disposal.

Great to see one with the full set, still plenty of guys work on these.

So we should be ok for years to come.

Can't see me working on these any time soon.

 

Jon

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds, England. 
    • 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.  
    • 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).
