Alex Hamilton’s ninth lesson introduces the fundamental principles of watch lubrication, emphasizing the goal of reducing friction and wear between moving parts. He categorizes lubricants into high-torque/low-speed oils like Moebius HP1300 and low-torque/high-speed oils like Moebius 9010, while detailing specific greasing points for the keyless works. The tutorial provides practical techniques for “dipping” oilers to control the minute amounts required and warns against the common mistake of over-lubrication. Hamilton also shares budget-friendly alternatives and a “bonus tip” for using syringes to dispense oil precisely, preventing waste and contamination.
