New Clean Factory DJ41 3235

[philwongnz]

someone has already tested this seller please ?

They seemed awfully over priced, I had bought from WatchesParts.com before and some of the dials they have is half the price of what this website is charging.

Never tried WD40 tbh - thought it would irritate the skin, but i guess thats why you dip it in mineral oil after. How long do you soak/dry out each part please? I'll try it on mine.

I don't use normal WD-40, I use a version of WD-40 that is called "Specialist Water Resistant Silicon Spray"... My understanding is that this WD-40 spray is basically some kind of Silicon lubricant that's dissolved in some short chain petroleum distillates; when you spray it on, the petroleum distillates will evaporate off leaving a nice smooth layer of whatever silicon lubricant was dissolved within.

My method

1. Soak the bracelet in WD-40 inside a ziplock bag for around 30 minutes to an hour. I don't see the purpose of going longer... it's not like you need the lubricant to soak through 10 years of rust (e.g. we're not soaking a rusted car suspension bolt over night to try to get it to come undone).
2. Then I take the bracelet out of the WD-40 and dap / wipe it off with a shop / paper towel.
3. Then I air dry the bracelet for 30 minutes to an hour. A good place to dry the bracelet is over the exhaust fan of your computer. This gives you a nice gentle stream of warm air that does wonders for evaporating off the last of the petroleum distillates. I have a heat gun, but that's a bit intense and I'm lazy and prefer to let something hang / sit rather than having to actively point a heat gun / hair dryer at it.
4. At this point the bracelet should feel pretty dry to the touch but it'll still smell like WD-40 (gross) and it'll leave a slightly oily feeling on your fingers after touching it (also gross).
5. Then soak the bracelet in a bath of mineral oil (I use a clean yoghurt container so I can re-use the oil for multiple bracelets). I usually leave the bracelet in for another 30 minutes to an hour. I'm not sure if doing this removes all the silicone goodness that I put on in with the WD-40 step, but my working theory is that whatever the silicon lubricant in the WD-40 was, it's probably less soluble in the long chain hydrocarbons of the mineral oil than it was in the short chain volatiles of the WD-40 spray. (I'm not a chemist, and I'm sure if there is one who reads this, I'll be quoted and corrected).
6. After the mineral oil bath, I remove the bracelet and dap / wipe it as dry as I can with paper towels. This can never get all the mineral oil off, so after I have it pretty dry I rinse the bracelet under gently flowing warm water from a tap, and then dry again with fresh paper towels.

This method has worked really well for me. My bracelets go from squeaky and clicky to smooth and silent.

Thanks my guy! I'll try it next time

Seems too much work. I just take a little bowl, drop the new watch in, cover it with baby oil and let it sit over night.
Next day I refill the oil into the bottle and rinse the watch. Bracelet feels great after.

I do get my watches waterproofed first though..

A pity those bracelets aren't removable.

U didn't catch this part: too much work.

I don't have fine fingers for doing tasks with tiny springs etc...

So you've decided to catch two birds with one stone eh?

Lube the movement with oil while bracelet gets oil bath, eh?

BRILLIANT!!!!! LOL

Or you just buy a cheap jewelry ultrasonic cleaner, put water and dish soap in it and wait 10 minutes while smoking a cigar to have the same result without using products which can harm your skin.

I do that too, that’s step 0 ; although I’m not much of a cigar guy.

Ok thanks for the additional explanation. So this joint is called a gasket, and that's what I was asking about earlier in this thread. It seems that it is indeed a little white as I thought
Noob Daytonas have a similar issue. Provided we can find another gasket this is something that any mod would easily fix.

I already confirmed that CF uses semi transparent gasket same as other generic one.
Not same situation as Noob Daytona uses white zero transparent gasket.

How does the movement of this watch hold? Is it a lot of problems with it?

Sorry what do you mean by you confirmed? Did you compare with a gen?

We had a couple of other members who said it was a little too white so I'm a bit confused here.

I compared CF gasket with gen and generic one too.
In my view, appearance wont’t be so obvious when installing gen gasket.
Sorry but I haven’t checked all of this topic, I would see some pics with gen gasket already posted here.

No worries, just trying to figure it out across various points of view

Thank you

Has anybody installed a gen DW yet? I can’t find a definitive answer if it takes a 3135 or 3235??

I'm quite sure jiro did (gen crystal and DW) and sold it here recently.

I still regret selling that beauty...

Yes, it takes 3235 DW
