The Timex Model 1 04 movement
should be lubricated using only High
Grade Watch Lubricants. The Main -
spring is permanently lubricated with
a dry film
lubricant which is not af-
fected by normal watch cleaning
solutions, the r efore the Mainspring
requires no lubrication .
Spreading Type Watch Oil (Woods
AAAA Oil is used in the factory) is
put at two points at the side of the
main arbor having the greater gap
between the ratchet wheel washer
and the main arbor . Put spreading
type oil on the main arbor on the
movement plate side and on the
sweep second staff where it passes
through the post at the center of the
Dial Plate.
Lubricate junction of ratchet whe t.
teeth and click with non-spreading
watch oil . !Moebius Synt-A-Lube is
used in the factory as a non- spread-
ing type lubricant.)
