Oils for Heuer chronoghaphs and movement holder

Hi all,

on the Calibre 11 technical manual (dated 1970) four types of lubricants are quoted for servicing the movement:

- Synt-a-lube 9010 (I think is Moebius Synt-a-lube 9010);
- Bergeon KT 22 (I think is Bergeon 2588-50 silicon grease KT 22);
- Synta-visco-lube (I think is Moebius synta-visco-lube 9024);
- Cuypers no.3 (I have no idea);

If someone out there is expert on making servicing by yourself please could you help me in finding a good watch parts website where I could buy those oils or their modern equivalents?

Also, someone knows where I could buy a cheap movement holder specific for Calibre 11/12/15 (with integrated pushers)? I can find many of them for modern ETA movements (like 7750) but nothing for vintage Calibre11.

I apologize if the argument has already been treated on this forum but I didn't find any post about this topic....

Thanks for your precious help.

Gianluca
