Can anyone please tell me what the 4 (or 3) most common lubricants are in watch servicing? And solvents?

I'm building my oil catalog and already have (all moebius): 8000, 8200, 9000, 9010, 9014, 9020 and D-5.

Check oils/greases descriptions at Moebius website (https://www.moebius-lubricants.ch/en).

I also would strongly recommend these videos:

About solvents/cleaning as a hobbyist I usually go with Benzine (I heard that also could be naphtha or lighter fluid) and mainly for rinse isopropyl alcohol (IPA).
