Thank you for this very practical advice @Jon on what to do and what not to be tempted to do. When you learn something you always make mistakes but with solid advice from someone with experience, mistakes can often be minimised. Very valuable and appreciated! -
Did you notice in your technical documentation of 1970 it mentions this newfangled epilam stuff? One of the unfortunate problems of technical documentation is it does not magically update itself to the newest version and if it did it would disappear because it's restricted to Swatch group people only. Then there is the other problem of supplemental documentation. For instance in the late 50s in their lubrication guide they talk about epilam and practically everything in the watch. Then in the ever-changing thoughts of the day go to orally epilam adding the escapement components. But in the newest generation of stuff because epilam is less volatile solvents is more stable at room temperature they've gone back to epilam ing of the entire watch. It's actually in the last jar the cleaning machine with only a couple of things come out. Then we're back to a Problem of time again. Yes the reverser can come apart but ideally not to destroy it you would need the special tool which you do not have. A very long time ago I worked in a shop that was Omega authorized that I was looking forward to even seeing the special tool and he didn't have it. But yes it can come apart and you really don't want to do it. I'm attaching a working instruction which came from cousins hence notice on the corners we see where it came from. If you look on page 19 they cover lubrication of the reverser wheels. Even if and I can't remember which one one of the technical documents I have actually shows the tools explains it can be disassembled and then basically says just dip it in the whatever and be done with it and don't disassembled. 8645_WI_40_rules for lubrication cousins.pdf -
That's a single lug / integrated strap design. The Vostok Amphibia Neptune is another that springs to mind. These can be fitted with swinging strap adaptors that allow a standard 18mm strap to be fitted. Some people adapt steel bracelets to fit by removing the end links or spreading / bending the side pieces of a link to fit around the lug. I would imagine that your strap slips off the pins because the strap layers are separating and providing too much clearance around the pins. Some contact adhesive and pinching the loops closer to the pin (bulldog clips?) while it dries would probably stop it. a -
You realize this goes against the theme of the message board where it likes everything in separate boxes not consolidated. Then to add to your fragmented discussion I already answered one of the questions elsewhere. Then the classic problem of when was this watch made and what is the date of your technical documentation? Then should I answer your questions? Or? Conveniently I'm not finding it lurking in the computer as I usually try to convert everything to PDFs and I know I've seen this somewhere and that is the Omega documentation of where they no longer use this mainspring of separate components. It's why if you look in the new list parts list that you don't have it's just one part of mainspring as opposed to two separate components. Then yes I would've posted images somewhere else on the group of how to lubricate a mainspring barrel with automatic. The two lubricants you mention are not suitable for breaking grease so if you don't have breaking grease ill have to go and purchase that.

It's always interesting with the watch companies is how the technical documentation changes with time. So while at one time Omega what I have a documentation specific to your watch later on they don't they just consolidate common things into one technical documents. Where conveniently skip over a whole bunch of other stuff then In any case you are asking about cannon pinion For the third whale this is what they have how to remove it. The important note on lubrication or not to lubricated and that looks like a staking set punched push it on? Don't see any reference to supporting it on the back side There is no a reference to movement holder for fitting the hands.
