Can anyone tell me what lubricant is used on the rotor sleeve bearing on the newer 3135 movement? Moebius 9010, 9020, or D-5?

Also....I've found old Rolex movement service spec papers showing a grease/oil mix.....has that changed to just oil?

Thanks kindly!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHnn none of the above HP 1000 or 1300 is what I use, D-5 has been discontinued because it's partially organic and will go bad. Rikki

Great information

How many millilitres do you estimate might be required to lubricate 1 rotor for 1 service?

My scale can't measure that low
