I don't know Maurice Lacroix.. yes for Longine because I have an old old lady longine that doesn't work but I keep it.. the name on the dial is almost erased......but I know that is a Longine .it's written on the movement



PS" Sorry for my mistakes on the English language. My native language is french ;)..I don't use a translator and I learn it since about 3 years by myself. So be cool ! :D

I love Rotary, there is something quintessentially British about them (even though they are Swiss!) Reliable and always, like this one, have some lovely designs. I bet you get a lot of pleasure out of that one!

 

I would love to get one day one of their vintage mechanical 9K gold models, just timeless design I feel.

    • 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).
