Affect of old lubricants on accuracy?
Hey, It's one's again, something about my Omega 565.
Is it usual that old lube (I don't know when it was last serviced) leads to +/- 2 min throughout the night (my room cools down at night)?
In spring and when worn the watch comes close to a few seconds over 12-14 h of wear and often is on the spot, but whenever I remove it, it falls out of tact with the correct time.

Old lubricants that have dried up in a watch movement will increase friction & cause the amplitude of the balance wheel to drop, which is what will effect the accuracy. Basically you watch needs a service.
