using synthetic oil on a movement?

[themoo-12 0]

I've read that using a drop or 2 of synthetic oil on watch parts is quite effective. Anyone have any experience with this? I'm only familiar with grease for waterproofing thanks!

I believe there is a particular grade of oils specific for watch movts which are synthetic.

If you are asking if you can use some other kind of oils for a watch movt I'm sure they would work

but it is a very delicate process and just any synthetic (i.e. WD40...) would probably not produce an optimal

result.

As GC says you should only use oils recommended by the movement maker, either natural or synthetic. For details, see following - http://www.cousinsuk.com/PDF/categories/2_Oil_Chart.pdf

 

If however you are talking about waterproofing seals, use silicon grease, it is easily obtained and is the correct thing.

I'm trying to figure out the viscosity that is needed for the service hole on a sec@6
