What sort of lubrication should I be applying to the seconds pivot for the 781?

D5 would be too thick. I recommend a tiny amount of Moebius 9010. And, of course, 9010 for the pivot once you have mounted the train wheel bridge.

By the way, thanks so much for the post,  @VWatchie - I believe the 781-1 is only a slight revision.

Thanks, you're welcome! I don't know what differences there might be between the 781 and 781-1 versions, but as you say it's probably just something minor.

Previously somebody was asking about the 783 which falls in the series from 781 through 784. There was one last document which I did not physically scan when I was scanning the others because I really despise scanning altogether I really have to pay attention we end up with duplicate pages etc. and then I get annoyed and start over. But fortunately your question is one piece of paper front and back so I scanned it for you. I'm attaching the PDF so now you have an answer what the differences is. Then if you need the other service information you can find it at the link below.

      Hi watchweasol, yes that is a way of doing it I suppose, I have a pair of mainspring hole making pliers on their way off eBay, the ones with the different shaped punches. I may be able to use them to make a hook.

      EMG Crown DL63

      This is a modern watch, the crown is definitely made from solid 316l steel. You must have heated the crown to some 200C caused the surface colour to change to light yellow. It's similiar to steel tempering. Yes it is the chromium oxide that forms during the heating that gives rise to the colours you see as you know stainless steel contains chromium. The fact the crown is SS lead me to a question, you've never heard of the alum method? Because alum would work perfectly in this case, instead of drilling, which, there is always a risk of damaging the crown, I would just let the crown chilling in some warm alum solution for 1-2 days and the job is done.   Sure can but the thing is the crown is not just mirror finishing, the lock symbol is polish while its background is some sand-blasted finishing so it would be hard to replicate that. You can buff it all shiny but losing the sand-blasted finishing means it won't look exactly like before.   Gasket is always tricky to me. I would try to use some gasket that look closest to the broken one in term of thickness and diameter, and check if the replacement gasket fit with some friction to the case tube. Lastly you can still use alum at this point.
