    This is a nice Lady pocket watch with a nice chain and a pendant with a picture Frame.

    Silicone lubricant for mainsprings?

    Silicone in or on a movement is also a big problem for soldering. If anybody had used a silicon lubricant in the past it's difficult to solder on any part of the movement. The tin not longer combine with the brass or steel and no flux what I know can solve this problem.

    Paint stripper and bugs??

    An other possibility to kill the wood worms is to put the housing in a freezer for two days. But for a vienna regulator I fear you need a verry large one. ng Chris
