[QUOTE=SearChart;8254220]Do you know what to look for when looking for worn parts?
Do you have access to fixodrop/epilame, escapement grease Rolex Rl2 or at least Moebius 9415?
It really needs epilame on pallet fork and escape wheel, seconds wheel and reversing wheels, to keep the oil from running.

I have a high power microscope for checking worn parts.
I do have epilame and 9415 and always use it on other watches as well. The epilame is the Zenith version for lower cost, it has always worked well for me. I also have all the other required oils/grease.

The only tools I am missing are the axle stake and a movement holder specific to 3035, although I have never needed a specific holder before so not sure I will go that route.

The reversing wheels is where I will need to do more research, most of the vintage watches I normally service are not auto, or do not have reversing wheels.
