Even if it got in to the movement would it do any harm? Does it dissolve shellac?

Not completely sure mike. The worst i saw it do was partially melt a joiner mate's plastic plane handle when the can went off and emptied in his tool box. Might be worth an experiment though as ive heard other members state damage with it. I think it was OH actually.

Its mostly heavy naptha and also contains xylene. It can affect polystyrene and polycarbonate according google. This is probably what my mates plane handle was made of polycarb. So parts and shellac might be ok

Which will be a lot cheaper now than having your oven on full blast for 40 mins. A fiver to cook a Sunday lunch geez, our government needs to get this sorted. 🤨. Unless you wait till you cook dinner and do your nut roast on the bottom shelf.  Badum-cha. Tommy Cooper eat your heart out.

Love it. All that heat didn't go to waste, oven chips and battered fish in with the "nut roast". Also used the heat from the oven to warm up the house a little rather than put the gas central heating on!

      AS2031-57E solar panel - mission: impossible

      By Albyon · Posted

      Imm going to close the discussion by attaching the photo of my super-titanium after several vicissitudes finally working. Purchased as not working I replaced the battery and for a stroke of luck I found its semi-new solar panel which, having verified its operation, seems to recharge the accumulator perfectly. I had taken this watch almost by bet, with 40 euros I brought it back to life. The initial half idea was to resell it to finance another purchase, but.. it's definitely a nice item. It would need to check the impermeability but it's a pleasure to see it on the wrist 😃

      Insert the movement inside the case

      By Albyon · Posted

      In fact the secret is to go gently and find the way without forcing, and the movement enters without problems

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Sure! Some very accomplished repairers never use epilame! I have often wondered if it is worth the trouble. Not using epilame will shorten the service intervals though, but that could be better perhaps both for the owner and the repairer!? Speaking of oiling, I just read this: After WWII in the 1950s the first Synthetic Oils came on the market. Most watchmakers did not rush to use these oils since they were bad for business now that the watch serviced with Synthetic oil would not come back to him for service for another 5-7 years he would lose a lot of income. ~Ofrei.com   Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if it would be more correct to think of epilame as a binder rather than a repellant. Until convinced otherwise that's how I will think of epilame.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I read that same article last night  H.  I think epilame is too much headache for me, sources aren't always accurate, some conflicting. Such is the GRAVITY of this situation, Is it ok if i just STICK  to a thixotropic oil 🤣
