Out of curiosity what do you mean by you've tried and failed?

 

I contacted them by email, trying to re-up, and it went nowhere, several times. Mind you, I was doing Ebay transactions before the 21st century- not for lack of web savvy on my part.

It is a very strange Association.

Lol,  2 of my customers are free Masons, one of them is a master of the lodge. I asked him about the cloak and dagger stuff, he just laughed

Laughter is because he doesn't want to tell you the secrets you're not at a high enough level yet.

Whilst searching for replacement oils for Rolex lubricants I stumbled across a post by @JohnR725 where he linked to a copy of the AWCI publication that I had not seen before (the August 2012 issue). An interesting article describes Rolex lubricants by comparing their properties with those of Moebius equivalent lubricants. If you don't want to read the article, here is what I came up with (which I take no responsibility for):

Rolex MR4    -> Moebius 9501 or Moebius 9504
Rolex LR2    -> Moebius 9415
Rolex TEPA    -> Klüber P125 or Moebius Glissalube A 8213 (Brass barrel)

I haven't found an alternative for Moebius 9103 (HP-1000) recommended by Rolex calibre 3135. Perhaps HP-1300 would do, or what do you think?

Anyway, the reason I am writing this post is that in the process I found another 37 copies of AWCI's publication from January 2010 to January 2013. I have saved all of these on my OneDrive and you can find the link in the first post in this thread.

Have fun!
