Pressure hosing quartz movements [emoji100][emoji935]

[Latvas]

I have experimented a little with an easy way to clean quartz movements without dismantling them, you still have to remove the battery, dial, hands, and datewheel though

The procedure i used are as follows :

 

Place the mowement in a movementholder and place it in some kind of container

 

Take a spraycan of contactcleaner for electronic devises and spray the movement from all angles until the liquid is clear, its simply a small scale pressure hosing and it worked perfect for me, the movement went from loosing alot of time to spinning perfect

 

You then take a spraycan of air and gently blowdry the movement,

 

Then put the movement under a lamp or other heatsource and let it dry out for a couple of hours

 

Relube the movement as described in the manufacturers tech sheet for the actual caliber

 

Cross your fingers and

Test it in the quartztester

 

If you want to try this its ofcourse at your own risk

There is no sure thing in this world

Superstitious gestures aside, how would you reach the lubrication points when you haven't removed much more than the back case? LoL

Buy some empty perfume spray bottles and spay into the relevant area.

Sounds like they do to some Timex movements. Sure it can work but i think i do it properly when i do it. I would remove the circuit board also.

Next level in cleaning will be to take the movement and strap it to a quartz line release device made waterproof with a plastic bag, and then pressure hose the damn thing, with the wheels spinning on top speed, that should do the trick [emoji16][emoji1303][emoji935]

Some cheap quartz movements aren't really designed to be taken apart and am sure there is already some type of spray cleaner on the market. To be honest I wouldn't waste my time trying to clean, for a few quid you can replace it.
More expensive movements I wouldn't be confident cutting corners but I always like to be open minded.
