With the older watch oils, they would dry and turn to goop in the jewels if the watch wasn't constantly running.

With the Moebius synthetic watch oils, that's not as much a concern any more. No watch winders here, I just let mine wind down, everything I work on now gets synthetic oil.

For the pics, an older Sony DSC-S30 shot through a magnifier base.

Here's more of the kind of stuff I work on, just updated the pics, enjoy.
