I don't believe Chinese people use "advanced" oils and i question if they use expensive epiliame at all... :)

Thanks for the insight ! I'll be experimenting more with this :)

I would agree on Chinese not using epilame. I tested a VS3235 pallet fork before and after epilame treatment. Before epilame it instantly sinks to the bottom of my one dip jar. After epilame it floats on the surface.

Hello oascom, great job you are doing there, well done!

I wanted to ask you, on the last photos you have a watch with 177 amplitude, did you change the mainspring or not? thank you and congratulations again for the job.

Always a pleasure to follow your post... you are a professional.

I have a quick question for you oascom, what do you use for oil? I use the moebius 9010 but each time I do a service, my amplitude is not correct, it is low and then, after 1 hour, it starts to rise...it's weird.

Each movement call for different oils, most popular are 9010, 1300, 9415 , 9504, D5 etc.
