I had a post on restoring an omega , I was posting pictures and showing the work as I went along, not sure why but it's been moved to the Moved to the watch collection section .

Can anyone shed any light.

 

There was no walkthrough in the thread, I moved it to the collection section. When the walkthrough is ready you can of course post it in the walkthrough section - please don't be offended, i'm just trying to keep posts in their relevant sections :)

@toptime810, What is the point of this?? Kindly do not make pointless posts in threads.

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      By swiss2k · Posted

      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.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      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).
