Hi
Need help with my 15500 from ZF, it's very noisy spinning rotor.
I know someone make it more silent just greasing it with some oil. So if you can give an advice which part I need to put oil, have I disassemble rotor and what kind of oil have I use. ( have this from the picture)
Thanks.

I'm not 100% certain but I believe it's right in the very centre.
A very very small amount.

I remember seeing a thread on it and I'll look tomorrow when on computer, but it you search the movement and silence motor on youtube I remember videos.

Alternatively, itd probably be recommended to bring to a local watchsmith.

I'm gonna ask my TD who has a watchmaker to do it for me hopefully.

It looks gorgeous by the way, well wear.

Finally what sounded was the rotor brushing against the movement . The oscillating mass was a little bent and apart from the screws that held it, they have gone over the thread and did not fix well. No solution, will send it for repair to the factory.

Thats a pity, but fair play for being able to diagnose it.

Sorry it wasnt an easy fix for you, but itll be back on your arm in no time.

Would you mind posting a wristshot f you get a chance, so I can ooh and ahh until mine arrives :p
