Re: PO winding
In Response To: Re: PO winding ()

: During routine maintenance the watch is
: disassembled and the lubricants are replaced
: with a fresh supply. Rest assured that Omega
: knows what lubricants to use in your watch.

I never doubted that.
I forgot to mention that my watch is a 35 year old Constellation :-)
You wrote that "...the older lubricants that were used in them could coagulate..." and "...today's high-tech lubricants no longer pose that problem"
My question was really if my recently-serviced (but old) watch would now have fresh supply of a "historically correct" lubricant" or a "modern, high-tech" one.
