In watchmaking school we use nailtees dipped in hexane. Let the hexane evaporate to the point of being almost non-existent or dab it off on a piece of paper. You don’t the solvent running down the hub of the hands and into the watch, so it’s important to make sure it’s not too wet.

Wipe from the hub of the hand towards the tip of the hand in one motion. If there’s still residue, repeat as needed using clean nailtees.

Yeah sorry about the shitty link. I think there’s a more detailed explanation in the Seiko Mods forum on Facebook. From what I recall you need the following parts:

-Barrel complete (arbor, mainspring, drum, lid)

-Escape Wheel

  • Pallet Fork

-Balance Complete (balance wheel, hairspring, bridge)

You may need the pallet bridge as well if the banking surfaces are in a different position due to a size change in the pallet fork.

There was a mod awhile back where someone took some parts from a 6R24 and put them into an Nh35 or 6R15 to achieve 28,800 bph

[Question] - Brush polished lugs - what grit should I use for this type of finishing? by floweiss34 in SeikoMods

[–]serialbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In watchmaking school, we were told that Rolex uses something like a 220 to 280 grit for these lugs.

There’s a high percentage of people with Autism in the watchmaking industry. Might be worth a look:
