No

That was my though.

How can I clean this mess?

Actually Cort 616 is not a correct piece for practicing Yes, it's simple and big, but a price of mistake is too high. It's better to improve skills on Molnia I think.

Everything must be taken apart, cleaned and put together,. Take a look at the ETA site, then you will see what is needed.

Thanks for the feedback.

[mention]Belkin12[/mention] You are kind of right . But a man got to do what a men got to do. At the end I can always send the movement to Yoda.

[mention]Yoda[/mention] I'll check that. Meanwhile I was viewing this video https://youtu.be/Xnh7O22mduE. Is it normal oiling of the escape while the watch was running? It just looks crazy!

[Yoda]

It is possible, but nothing I would recommend.

That's enough oil for a salad

Damn that video is addictive. I had wathced it before but still ended up watching more than half

no easy undertaking and then it becomes costly ... between purchasing the proper ultrasonic cleaner, cleaning fluids, the special oils, oilers, etc

If you will be doing many movements over the years, especially if you are looking to work on more complicated movements like Rolex or other automatics ... then it may be cost effective to invest in the proper equipment
