To oil or not to oil . . .

by Jordan Ficklin

That is the question when talking about pallet arbors. I was trained in the tradition that unless you are dealing with an extremely humid climate and a dust-proof case then the answer is no, you don’t oil pallet arbors. You really want the pallet arbor to be as free as possible to rock back and forth.

For those who oil pallet arbors I understand that an extremely light film is applied to the arbor as a rust preventative more than as a lubricant.

Whether you are a believer of oiling pallet arbors or not the following photo is NOT the way to do it.

You may want to click on the photo to get the full effect. What you see here is oil in the pallet arbor sink and flowing up on top of the pivot. Also you’ll notice oil on the top of the pallet fork. Whoever serviced this watch last used enough oil on the pallet arbor to take care of most of the gear train.

    Ive heard that the japanese actually designed their watches and calculated the mainsprings with an oiled pallet fork pivot. Im curious to know if thats true or not.

    In any case, lol @ photo :P

    I don’t know a whole lot about Japanese movements, but the technical guide for the 7S26/36 does show oiling the pallet arbor.

    I learned never to oil a anchor arbor. Unless a tech spec says so, which is not the case for the Swiss manufactured movements I know: ETA series, AS, PE, Landeron, Valjoux etc, Neither a French one I know: HP.

    My Teacher (Read Grandfather) Taught me to NEVER oil pallet arbors. I don;t know about Japanese movements either. Although I suppose if the tech specs call for it then it should be done. On a side note, @ J.Peter, LOVE how you named the image file “Butcher”!! :)
