    Bro you are actually applying too much oil, not too little. Also it would serve the watch much better if you apply the oil only in the very middle of the jewel. When you cover the sides or the top of the jewel -as you do- with oil it will pull the oil out from the middle leaving the pinion dry. This oil will then eventually spread out over the surface of the movement which isn’t supposed to have any oil on it.

    I just finished my first movement fix/service last weekend and it was the 8200. I figured what the heck. I can either keep swimming around the comment sections of other real watchmakers or I can dive in! Of course, I only dove in after having spent hundreds$$ on minimum tools and lubricants after discovering watchmaking a couple months agov and binging service videos since. But yup, dove in. This is an older of your videos so I'm sure you've got the new tweezers and screw drivers in service, but the fact you would post a video using this pair is awesome! The average person just dabbling in something to see if they like it might only have access to a pair like that, but otherwise might be intimidated off by the expensive second mortgage tools and machines. Thanks for this!

Very nice machine you get ! Lucky One.Why you don’t continue with your project (basket) and help new amateur watchmakers like us to have possibility to have one !
