Bergeon Rodico Cleaning Putty for Watch Repair, Cleans and Removes Dust

Product Information

You can thank me with some free merchandise once your Rodico sales shoot thru the roof after you advertise it in this new way!! Haha!! Consistent renewal of small quantities of oil is ALWAYS better than inconsistent replenishment of a large amounts of oil. Always swab the oil with the oiler at the surrounding edge of the oil cup. Do not get oil from the deep deposit in the middle. This is because dirt, dust, and other contiminants will usually make it’s way to the deep deposit in the middle of the oil cup. Oil containers and the surroundings of it should always be kept cleaned. Any build up around your oil container will make its way into the oil irregardless of the lid being closed

Expired lubricants lose it’s effectiveness and may shorten a service cycle. A good rule of thumb is to minimize any amount of chances that may cause a functional issue. Replacing expired oils is CHEAP in the grand scheme of things.Dab or Wipe Motion? Most of the time a light dabbing motion is all you need and will provide you with residue free cleaning, a rolling or kneading motion may also be used. Where as a wiping or rubbing motion gives you a higher chance of the rodico leaving a slight residue behind, especially in the case of using older Rodico. It seems from what I hear, rodico is so effective that it has allowed watchmakers to cut corners at various steps. Examples are oiling; if you get a mini drop on the periphery of the jewel, careful rodico can correct it rather than cleaning up the whole jewel and reapply. Also not using the finger cots that someone mentioned here already, doable because at the end you could remove the marks with... rodico!

Let's assume for a moment that I uh... know a guy... and he wanted me to ask this. Not me, y`see, nope nope. Rodico doesn't come close to any watch I'm about to assemble. It simply does not work unless making really cool oily stains is your thing. MOEBIUS 8200-We'll use 8200 for mainsprings (some use it on the setting system for older watches). Generally, we'll clean mainsprings with Solvent H. After which, we'll run a small amount of 8200 onto the entire length of the mainspring itself. 8200 has been a staple in many technical guides. Other brands may have different standard operating procedures so again, this is just a generalization. When changing oils, use something like Solvent H to clean the oil pot. Do not just simply wipe it with paper.This also eliminates the risk of accidentally “wiping” a small bit of abrasive material that will permanently scratch your glass surface. It is indeed handy for getting stubborn cap jewels out of settings and many things, but should be kept off clean parts and dials, away from oil/jewels, and when used to "clean" already clean parts, use fresh stuff. If you need to handle it with your finger, do it with finger cots. Don’t use Rodico on warm watches, warm parts, or warm tools, as it will turn to a slime consistency from the heat. This includes where you store it while not in use, avoid leaving it in warm areas like directly below a bench light or next to a heated cleaner.

Is amazing what defects can do to screw up timekeeping and until the watches running in good condition it's hard to tell if the balance has a problem or not from a poising error. Then this is a modern screwless balance more than likely it does not have a poising error unless somebody's modified it. The factory poised it within the specifications of the watch it may not be perfect but it still should be reasonably poised unless you're having other issues which you are having. So now how does it look in various positions that you fixed all the problems? Really you should reclean. I know it sounds extreme but that's the professional thing to do. Your watch? Do as you please. Customer? Do it right. I'm not saying there's no situation where the excess can be safely tidied up, but I wouldn't advocate it. More than likely if it's a vintage quartz it will require servicing. Start a new discussion with your quartz watches with pictures the movement So they can find you servicing information.
