Yes, my recommendation based on experience is using sewing machine oil and quality quartz watches with either digital display or hands without seconds (the seconds hand drags to much)

Does filling it with oil give it better water resistance too?

It's supposed to achieve that too. The oil takes all the empty space available so water can't get in.
In addition, it keeps Orings soft and flexible.

Do it!

Just an advice: if someone decides to make this mod, allow a bit of air inside (a bubble) to make room for the liquid expansion.
