Landeron 48 oiling

[matabog]

Hello!

Do you oil the shouldered “safety” screws that hold in place the coupling clutch 8080, the sliding gear 8100 or the hammer 8219? If so, do you also put a very tiny drop of hp 1300 under them?

 

you can find the entire doc here: http://watchguy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Le-Landeron-48.pdf

 

 

Thank you!

Hi matabog, I usually don't since the manual does state that they "should move freely". If you put oil their movement could be in some very light way hindered, I think.

Thank you for the answer. I also believe that oiling would add some sort of "drag". 

But I still believe that there is a little bit of friction (hence the "safety"). Also the natural forces involved are on the horizontal, not the vertical.

So let's recap! What do you use (if any) on the points in the picture bellow? You have hp1300, Molykote, M9504.

Thank you,

Bogdan
