[TheForge] Cleaning and Lubricating( almost on subject )

"I think that means that there should
be an easy way to clean and oil this peice of "fine" smithwork."


That's exactly what it means.  So why take it on yourself to make snese of

should be done every six months that makes economic sense for a $125 watch. 
Then have him do that.
