Watch Service Intervals

I feel predicting service intervals for watches, solely on the life of "watch oil", is too absolute. There are many watch oils used in watch repair all with varied properties. On top of the extensive list of oils are contributing factors to service life. ...  

Very long winded...

Thanks for sharing! Lots of good information and problems/mistakes to learn from. Also a lot of aspects to consider to prevent degredation to the watch movement and oils.

Great article. Are there any obvious tell-tale signs that suggest service is needed?

For example: The watch running slow - due to loss of lubrication or increase in friction by debris accumulated in bearings etc. Thanks Jim
