When too much oil.............

.........is just a bit toooooo much!

I'm servicing a Seiko 7548 diver at the moment. I disassembled all of the components.




Then I went to do a preliminary inspection before cleaning.

It appears that the previous service technician thought that quartz movements required LOTS of oil on the pivots. Maybe they were a part time auto mechanic as well.



I'll be using specified quartz watch oil in the required quantities when I put it back together.

Hasn't it got a dipstick?
Or a sight glass?

😁

Wait until you see the next one 😉.

A teaser.

Unfortunately not mine.
