WHAT LUME!

I have a small collection of watches, all sub 1k. The lume on this beats all! Does anyone have info on the lume Citizen uses vs say Seiko, Bulova, etc?

Can I get recommendations for matching the oiler to the oil/grease, please?

I asked AI and got the following:

Match the oil to the cup

Based on your setup and the lubricants you have, here is the recommended way to match your Moebius products to the Horotec [1] oil cups.

You should align the colors of the oilers (the metal shafts) with their corresponding colored cups to maintain a consistent, intuitive workflow.

Suggested Lubricant Layout

| Lubricant | Oiler Color | Cup Color |

| Moebius 9010 | Black | Yellow |

| Moebius 9415 | Blue | Blue |

| Moebius 9504 | Green | Green |

| Moebius HP 1300 | Red | Orange/Red |

Why This Order Works

* **Moebius 9010 (Yellow/Black):** As your thinnest "all-purpose" oil for high-speed components, it performs best with the finest needle (Black) to prevent flooding. Place this in the yellow cup.

* **Moebius 9415 (Blue):** This is a specialized grease for pallet stones. Using the Blue oiler in the matching Blue cup creates a visual "Blue-to-Blue" reminder for this specific critical task.

* **Moebius 9504 (Green):** This is a versatile synthetic grease for parts like the center wheel or barrel arbor. The Green oiler fits perfectly into the Green cup.

* **Moebius HP 1300 (Red):** As the thickest lubricant you have, it requires the largest (Red) oiler. Placing this in the orange/red cup keeps your highest-viscosity lubricant paired with the corresponding largest-diameter needle.

**Pro Tip:** Since you have a four-cup stand but your lubricants and oilers are color-coded, just ensure the "Red" oiler always returns to the red cup, and you will quickly develop muscle memory for each specific lubricant's viscosity.
