When you did the auto-works before did you totally clean the reversing-wheels of any lubricant?
Then mix some 9010/2 with some IPA (1 part 9010/2 TO 20 part IPA).
Dunk the two wheels in it for a few moments. Then let dry completely for at least half and hour assisting with the blower befor ere-fitting to the works

I will do that indeed.
I was planning to buy some lubeta v105...but given the low usage, I can try your mix

can D5 replace 9010?

I have a question, hopefully not too off topic.
I'm looking for a bracelet for my 1016 build. And I stumbled upon those. They are unbranded, but allegedly "made in Europe".
What do you all think?
Could I potentially replace the clasp with raffle one?

I bought a new hands set, and it's very satisfying that the shape of the hour hand is the most similar to the original I've found so far.


(Compared to Helenarou. Helen's shape is too different from the original.)
And, the hour and minute hands of the NH34 and 2824 are compatible, right?

For thé moment, my perfect set is 6200 from raffle for minute hands, submariner for hour hands and 15mm second hand from cousin cut to 13mm

The lume on the minute hand could be a little bit larger, but liké the 13mm lenght and curves shape on this one....

The link I purchased has disappeared, but it's definitely the same as the product in this link. It seems that the seller has changed only the second hand to 2824 type in the hands for NH35 and shipped it. To know more clearly, I ordered some more hours ago.

Post hands like that ...

and this thread is like;

Oh it's from Lichifit store. I've ordered tons of stuff from them before for Seiko mods. Reliable guys, I ordered a set myself just now. Thanks for the link 🙌

So I got my 455B end links and put on the rivet bracelet...

I switched back to the distressed leather immediately😂
That rivet bracelet needs a good clean and oil bath. Plus I hate that clasp.

Leather is nice but I give you two days and you'll be back on the rivets. Just enough time to stop it squeaking;
Stick the bracelet in a bag - links off, link screws out - fill the bag with olive oil and a healthy dash of IPA.
Shake.
Let sit overnight.
Drain.
Dry.
Wear.

I treated my jkf oyster with an overnight stay in Nivea liquid cream. Perfect outcome. Just did the same with the rivet bracelet. Let's see.

I need to buy some IPA, not the beer version
