Thanks Nev , i really appreciate all that information you have given me. Yes i fully understand what you say about the sharpness and approach angles for the gravers and developing a feel for the cut. I used to turn timber years ago the principles are similar especially aquiring the feel for turning. I think now that the graver was not sharp enough. I play the guitar so I may try your method with the guitar strings , thanks again Nev 👍 -

It looks like it has a knife groove a bit to the right of the crown in that centre detail, as if the whole case splits around the middle - see the first two photos? -

Thank you watchweasol for responding!! I took the movement out by first unlocking the crown I put the stem and crown back in the movement when I tried to unlock the stem to take it out again the lever fell out. -
Re mixing oils. It would be ok to mix normal mineral oils (D5) with modern synthetic oils that are of the PAO type (HP1300 etc). PAO oils are basically synthesised from mineral oils and as such have all the undesirable properties of basic mineral oils removed or greatly reduced. 'Synthetic' lubricants can also be chemicals not related to mineral oils at all, hence my 'synthesised' usage for PAO oils. If you use a semi-synthetic motor engine oil in your car/truck, this is in fact a mixture of mineral and PAO. Greases are another matter though, as they are a mixture of an 'oil' and a 'soap', and it is more likely that the reactions of the soaps that can cause problems.
