Hi, Mike! Great to see you on my watch channel! Time capsules are always stunning and it's a pleasure to work with them. This timepiece dates back to 1992 and it had spent decades in a drawer before its owner sent it over to me for maintenance. The movement is running flawlessly, I didn't even have to adjust the regulator pin. I sometimes do this to retain the original state of the watch.
Were you able to find the source of the excessive oil deposit under the dial? From what I could see in the video, it didn't leach out from the movement as it looked dry. Hard to believe the puddles of grease came from the factory though. It's also strange that the two screws holding the movement were loose.
Frankly speaking, I was not able to make out where the oil had come from. I came to believe the oil formations might have built up because the oil had been oozing out over decades from various parts of the movement and finally landed in one place. But it is a mere supposition. Such an excessive amount of lubricant doesn't seem to be a factory fault, considering the overall condition of the watch which is running flawlessly after having been serviced.
@@kirillslov Kirill, perhaps you are right, but let's look at the facts. A large quantity of the oily residue was sequestered under the dial and around that plastic spacer ring fitted between the dial legs. At the same time, surprisingly there was no oil on top of the day and date rings. Thus, it's hard to believe the oil got deposited on the dial underside without making a mess of the day/date calendar rings, especially when one considers that the excessive lubrication got drained from the movement when/if the watch was stored upside down. Then there is an issue with the volume of the lubricant -- that's way too much oil for the trained Raketa watchmakers to apply to their watches... Well, I am at a loss here. Do you have any other ideas? Would it be possible to get more info from the Raketa owner? Thanks!
I have really no idea concerning the point. I have never seen anything like that in other movements. As for the owner, he only knows that the watch was in the box from 1992 until the date when the watch was sent over to me. There hadn't been a single attempt to service the timepiece and I did not see any signs of external interference. One more viable theory consists in the ability of oil to evaporate and condense. You are sure to have noticed the smears around the center hole and the day/date aperture. As for such smears, I have seen them more than once.
@@kirillslov I guess we will never know where the "oil spill" came from, unless some new info transpires. If the watch has really spent 30+ years since it was purchased sitting in a drawer in a controlled environment and came to you as a true NOS (new old stock) item, then the oil provenance can be traced to the factory. However, I have legitimate doubts about this hypothesis, as discussed above. I also believe that this watch has been worn, judging from the less than perfect condition of the case. Sure, oils can evaporate and condense (every liquid and organic solids with low melting points have a measurable vapor pressure at a given set of conditions, viz. temperature and atmospheric pressure), but in a small closed space a condensate tends to distribute more or less equally on the enclosed surfaces after a rapid cooling, although gravity can have an impact on the condensate distribution, especially when a temperature drop is slow and gradual. The oily smudges on the dial around the center hole and the calendar window probably came about through some capillary action when the watch was stored inverted (after the oil had already pooled on the back side of the dial), not through condensation. Since the top side of the calendar rings was in perfect condition and the movement was totally dry, condensation can be ruled out. Anyway, I should stop beating a dead horse here... Thank you for your participation in this lively discussion! In the other news, it seems that another comment I left on this video's page went missing. I wonder if RUclips took offence when I praised the Raketa brand and its movements.

И как всегда мастеру большой респект. Хороших мастеров всё меньше и меньше. К сожалению.
Спасибо!
That's a good looking watch!

The sound of something being loose when the watch is shaken is likely from the week day & year disk.
Seems to be true. I haven`t found any other possible source so far.
У них фрикцион прослабленный?
