I just recieved my L & R watch cleaning machine. It has all of the baskets, jars, and works like a charm. I guess it's from the 50's, but it has some serious RPM's.
My question relates to the method of placing the items in the baskets. I can take the entire movement apart, and put it back together with little issue. My next step is to operate the cleaner. Do you guys kave a certain technique to keep the parts in order, or do most of you know every part no matter what order?
I considered doing several cleaning sessions, and replace the parts back in order as I finish, and then move to a seperate portion of the movement to clean. My last watch had 8 seperated trays with the parts in order. Do I just pluck the wheels, and sprockets for the first load? Or all keyless works together? or just toss everything into the baskets, and sort it out later?
I'd like to know what method would work best if I can't remember the exact order for every part.
