Wanna Lube
The watch oil Moebius 9010 and grease 8300 finally arrived today and comparatively much cheaper than if I were to purchase it locally.
These are for the Rolex and other Swiss made watches, on Japanese and Chinese watches I'm using the Japanese oil from Seiko.

Getting A Higher Quality Tools
After my few practice with watches, I realize that better quality tool is a must in watchmaking. Screwdriver, Loupe and Tweezer these are basic tools that we use daily. I was using "high quality" Chinese made screwdriver and loupe ... but it just don't cut it on the smaller scale of screws.
Decide to give Tai Sang Watch Shop in Wisma Selangor at Jalan Sultan, Kuala Lumpur a visit, they are the Bergeon authorized agent here. They do sell other brand like Horotec but not as a set.
