Barrel wall lube question

[terryuk]

I'm going to replace the mainspring in my GMT Master 16750.

Can anyone suggest a 'braking' type grease for the barrel wall? to replace the Rolex one which I don't have ...

I would appreciate any info
Thanks

That is a 3185 right? Why not replace complete barrel arbor and mainspring like Rolex recommends?

Anyway, you need Rolex Tepa grease.

Same thing applies, preferably a new complete barrel with mainspring as is Recommended by Rolex. Or Rolex Tepa grease on the barrel wall.

I was looking to find an alternative option.
I don't have an account with, or connection to the Rolex company.
I'm told Rolex developed and started using TEPA around 2006 or 2007?

Just seen in another thread, one member posted the opinion that barrel grease is not really needed but could use Moebius 8217
