The Rolex service manual for the 4130 calls for the pivots of the chronograph bridge to NOT be lubricated. This is why I’d suggest not running the chronograph continuously. I suspect that these pivots aren’t lubricated for a good engineering / design reason (that’s above my pay grade). But I know that running a pivot in a dry jewel over the long term is a bad idea.

Does it say anywhere in the manual what position the stems needs to be in for removal?

if i understand this correctly. ZF (cf dial&bezel,deep crystal, arf bracelt) + BTF movement(sa4130) = best 116500

Amazing work, thanks for taking the time this in details photoshoot
To see these details both on gen (great job Rolex) and rep counterpart is a great opportunity to understand what's going on

Is it possible to order spare parts for the clean 4130 movement? I'm not exactly sure what the part I need is but think it's called a friction spring for hour wheel, 4103-0945 part number. I can't find a schematic to track down the part and can't see it in these pics either. It's a very thin brass washer (for want of the correct terminology)

Many thanks, Shane

Yes, sorry, that's correct, the 4130-0945. I'm not 100% this is the correct part I need though, do you know of a schematic or parts breakdown including pictures for the 4130 (either gen or replica)? I've tried ebay but can't find this part.
