This little bugger :) how do you oil this in the best way? I have just dropped some D5 or now HP1300 into the wheels. But i think it kind of makes a mess. The oil or grease doesn't get where i want it? Any tips?

You  say you have made a mess, to me that indicates you have used too much. Wash it out again and use a minuscule amount around the wheels.

For small wheels that are attached to a plate, use fine oil (as it is more penetrating) if there is a cut to reach to the arbor. If there is no cut, leave them alone.

They only work when setting the day/date, I don't oil them.

Okay. That would be nice if that would work? But they could be used really often if you don't use the watch every day? But on the other hand i have seldom seen any that was worn?  Some Lubeta 105 could work? 

What does Seiko recommend?

It indicates "Normal Quantity of Moebius A" which I believe translates to Moebius9010 although I would love to hear confirmation of that as this whole oil business is new territory to me. I was lucky enough to find the colour version in my hunting for info which I have hopefully attached to this post. Note: I can't remember where from so I can't be sure who to credit with the original upload, so apologies to the OP.

Yes, Moebius A is 9010. As I've mentioned above, it's a better choice than HP1300 for this particular application (reaching to  arbors of permanently attached wheels), because being a fluid rather than an oil/grease, it will alcually reach to the part to be lubricated. Seiko still recommends the same for the current movements, and to ease access, the wheels are manufactured with recognizable cuts. Check illustration *2 on page 3 of the attached.

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Well, my fundamental stance is that I want to go in and out without leaving any trace other than a shining, perfectly running movement. So, no scratchings on the inside of the case back lid, no marred screws, no debris, no fingerprints, and so on. That is, my goal is to make it impossible for the FBI to track me down. As a professional, I suppose you might want to keep track of returning watches, but as @JohnR725 mentioned, we can keep detailed computer records without marking the watch at all. That may not be true for every watch, but luxury and COSC-certified movements do have unique numbers. John also says it’s best to leave no sign you were ever there, and I couldn't agree more. Now, suppose the Sea-Dweller I'm working on is one day scrapped, and you want to sell the case-back separately (perhaps the case was destroyed in a plane crash). Then the scribbles on the inside no longer reflect the current movement inside the case. Also, the engraving will likely halve the market value of the case back. It had been "sleeping" for about a week and a half. Yes, the "debris/old lubricant" theory is my hypothesis as well! It will be interesting to see what I find once I have time to start disassembling the movement.

      I've repaired a few of these, having some success with stripping and cleaning the mechanism.  They are so cheap though, its hardly worth the effort in many cases.

      Id love to see how he has the output shaft mounted to this setup, as I have the same rotary stage and stepper in my build.

      Broken watch stem in watch crown

      By Poljot · Posted

      If you see at least one thread protruding, or even a half, then you may have a chance using this "tool", but don't squeeze hard. Lot's of patience, and if you notice any signs of loctite or other adhesives, then apply several drops of acetone on top of broken stem. Use heat (hair dryer) also. You should be able gradually turn it counterclockwise, just like i did on this broken Timex stem, which was glued with something like nail hardener. Then you can use an extender to save your broken stem. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513DVvkfW5L.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg   You can also try cutting a small grove / slot on top of the broken stem to use 0.7mm flat screwdriver.   Depending on the Crown material and Stem material, you can try dissolving the stem.
