SSTEEL 0 Posted May 18, 2014 Servicing an A7750 movement for a customer this morning, and no wonder is wasn't running very well. Check out the amount of oil the rep factory has put in the main spring barrel. They must of filled way past the MAX level mark :lmao: Untitled by Micky.!, on Flickr Untitled by Micky.!, on Flickr Surprised there wasn't an oil leaks lol Untitled by Micky.!, on Flickr Shocking, but not surprising, the rep factories are always known for incorrect procedures :lmao: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nev848 0 Posted May 18, 2014 Crap my Yamaha RD350LC used less oil than that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted May 18, 2014 oh my, I remember some HBB Divers from V6 factory had too much oil that the middle of dial started to peel off due to oil getting out from pinions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted May 18, 2014 Stinks of WD40, so probably that instead of oil, oh dear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 994 Posted May 18, 2014 Shouldn't even be oil, should be grease in there . . . eeeew! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,748 Posted May 18, 2014 Did you check it on the dipstick first? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black263 228 Posted May 18, 2014 Wonder if this was a DOA, returned to the factory, and given a squirt of WD40 to get it going long enough to sell? But that's probably just cynical old me. :suck: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vreds 0 Posted May 18, 2014 As trailboss said, there should be grease and not oil. I guess it's cheaper to just use same oil everywhere and you can hardly expect the factories to spend money where you cant see it, unfortunately :coffee2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted May 18, 2014 Shouldn't even be oil, should be grease in there . . . eeeew! Exactly, oil, or WD40 don't offer any braking whatsoever lol. I use Moebius 8217 or 8141 grease depending on the age of the spring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted May 18, 2014 Well if you use a synthetic oil you can get away with one oil almost anywhere but it's always grease on a mainspring, oil does not do the same thing and won't prevent binding for the average length of time between services. What were they thinking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black263 228 Posted May 18, 2014 I'm thinking the grease had aged and solidified, and this was how to free it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narikaa 129 Posted May 18, 2014 My watchsmith opened one returned from a squealer in Italy to find it full of oil from a can sardines or similar (from the stench) - wannabe watchsmiths eh what ya gonnado Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
