new ETA movement part

[Retired2014]

Maybe a simple question but I can't find the answer. Does a new ETA part require lubrication as advised in the ETA technical communication? For example for the 7750 it states, the driver cannon pinion and the hour counting wheel if cleaned you must lubricate. So if I get those 2 parts new should I lubricate them as shown in the communication when assemble?

Thanks for your help

The idea is that these parts come ETA per-lubricated when new.

I cleaned these parts once and then lubricated as the movement was neglected by the owner. Not a big deal, but if you bought new parts - no lubrication will be needed. Also, you may ask your parts supplier.

I hope your question was about ETA pre-lubricated areas. Right?

ETA parts come lubricated, the question is how old the lube is? so if you get a part made 25 years ago, would you just instal it and take pride in such accomplishment?

Same question applies when you have a fifty year old new unused watch in your collection.

I put the question to our knowledgable moderators here, the answer was, if expired you should clean old oil and relube.

Don't forget the epilame treatment. Special attention with reversers.
