The hardest part of that whole process is removing and reassembling that deco rotor. 2 tiny screws and then 3 more tiny screws.
As for “silencing” it, it’s hit or miss from my experience and from what I’ve read. All unidirectional rotors spin and that is the noise that’s annoying as hell.
I’ve never been able to completely silence it but möbius 9010 seemed to work best for me. I’ve tried pretty much every oil I have.
As for how much you need to put on there... just enough so that there isn’t any excess that can drop down to the gears. So basically, put a few tiny drops using the red (I think) Oiler around the gear and hope for the best.
Good luck man. I’ve had 3 or 4 miyota movements with deco plates (omega and AP) and I’ve never been able to get one completely silent. You will always hear the rotor spinning backwards. You don’t hear the gear winding tho.
I can’t stand that spinning sound but as long as you don’t jerk your arm around, it won’t spin fast enough to be loud enough for everyone to hear.
Have you ever seen Richard Mille set to the fastest auto wind? It’s louder than any rotor spinning I’ve ever heard in my life but at least that one is chosen and not manual. lol.
