WATCH POP

I am using from two years Moebius 8000/4 SWISS but i am not satisfied. I used in wristwatches and pocket watches but I have recently discovered that after a short time some pocket watches stopping or slowing from functioning. After cleaning again I have used LaPerle ( an very old French oil) and now they are working very well. Cut be this oil (Moebius) not original, or the best oil for old watches is the one produced 50 years ago, in this case this la Perle ? I have been using for several years:
9010/2 Synth-a-lube for faster moving parts, including balance jewels
9415/2 Escapement grease for pallet stones and
9020/2 Synth-a-visco-lube for slower moving parts
I also use a couple of different greases for mainsprings and larger center wheels, and KT22 for keyless and chrono actuation parts.
I am quite happy with the Moebius oils. It seems to stay nice and round when applied to cap jewels and doesn’t creep like others I’ve tried.

Answer:

I don't want to be rude but seen in all watch shops just Chinese products declared as, SWISS’’ screwdrivers which turns junk after two or 3 times use. As called, Replace heads '' are simple joke's there are not even blue color (the color of steel) there are simple Fer metal. I don't even speck about drills. The smallest drills are not even for one use.
Everything is Chinese these days so I better buying old stuff, those old tools are never die and you will have them for the rest of your life.
I think I will use just that old oil La Perle from now one at least if I’m not going in Switzerland and buy myself all needed tools from there!

Answer:

But Nye synthetic is what my old repair guy used and that's what wound up using. Novostar grease for those applications.
