Mainspring Grease

[ngy]

Hi all,

Reading a few documentation regarding grease of the mainspring barrel, I see that 'molybdenum disulphide in a mineral oil' is generally desirable grease. Looking at say, the ETA 7750 documentation, it recommends Kluber P125, and I have seen a few other suggestions on these forums.

My question is if Molykote DX paste is a viable substitute? Has anyone tried? Based on the description and definition of Molykote, it seems to fit the bill:

http://www.dowcorning.com/applications/search/default.aspx?R=11354EN

"Molykote® DX Paste is a grease-paste that reduces friction in low speed, high load applications by delivering a combination of white solid lubricants with a mineral oil carrier fluid to the required point of lubrication."

Any insights will be helpful, thanks!

Also, anyone use Moebius 9415 on reversing wheels? Or Moebius 9010? I have seen other recommendations like 'very little quantity of Moebius 9010' on the ETA tech sheet, and Lubeta V105.

Thanks,@

I use 9415 on pallet stones only. 9010 on eta reversing gears, sure. Barrels I used to use 8213 but then I got access to Rolex TEPA and MR4. Amazing lubricants.
