Hi all

I hope someone can answer this quetion or put me on the right track.

Can KT-22 be used in place of 9010 or 9020 for gear train wheels. It says it can on the label but am I confusing "gear train" with "gear train wheels"? This KT-22 I have is a grease where I thought 9020 was an oil?

Hope someone can put me right here.

Cheers

I don't actually own kt-22 but i know what it's like, there's no way you could try to lubricate gear train jewels with it, surely. so in short no it cant stand in for 9010 or similar. Something else is probably meant? something lost in translation?

Says on label: "for small gear trains in watches, clocks and instruments. Remains in gear train, will not ball up, break down or gum up."

I guess that's why I am asking, it's very sticky.

9010 or 9504 then for train jewels?

So that were all in the same page I have a link below  it was just the first one that came up googling it shows the lubrication talks about its use.. You will note the word grease versus oil is used in the description.

It depends upon the size of the watch for your lubrication requirements. Usually very small watches require a lighter lubrication than larger watches. Then  there's a certain degree of personal preference as to what people like.. So 9010 is universally regarded as the lubrication for balance wheel pivots..  9020 works good for gear trains.

Then Moebius 9104 Synt-HP 1300 Is considered a very heavy oil.  To get an idea of what I mean by light and heavy oils the second link lists lubrication's with their viscosity.

      Yup watchie you are entirely on my wavelength with this , you actually said what i was hinting at, what if something happens to mark ? Will someone be able to take over ? Its not that long ago that the forum was down and Mark had to step in and fix it. And you are right a wealth of information that does not exist as a whole anywhere on the planet will be lost. Can that be archived elsewhere? It would be an absolute shame if the plug was pulled without warning, i would like to think Mark wouldn't do that to us. And like i said in my first post i talk about things other folk might be affraid to.  So lets not skirt around anything. It might be nice to have a place where we can all drop our emails just in case so we always have that contact. Can you make that happen  Old Hippy ?  i kind of think of you as the pops of the forum 🙂

      Hopefully if the issue is running costs, Mark would let us know and suggest ways of raising finance. If it's the other issue, which we are skirting around, sites can be passed onto others.   PS because I know you're all interested, I  had a bacon and mushroom sandwich for breakfast.  Hehe.

      Hi guys, the question is what is a forum, a place for discussion and passing on information, idle chat and a bit of fun and I for one are the richer for it. When in Hospital last year with the Covid being force fed oxygen and feeling total sh1t and close to the pearly gates a daily look on the forum to see what was going down helped to keep me focused on the job in hand took my mind off the problem for a short while but it was a lifeline for sure. We chat to friends for that is what they become around the world read their posts help where we can post information where we can.  I like @Neverenoughwatches some times think of members past and wonder if they are still at the watches or given up, some drop in for advise and drop out again never to be heard of again. The forum reminds me of Yorkshire hospitality, The door is always open and the kettle on the stove. Long may it continue.   My two bobs worth.
