Chris commented in a previous post that he opened up a watch and it smelled like it came out of a coffin (rotton flesh smell). That must be the decomposition of the oil made from animal products. The modern synthetic oils are made from plant oils and resist breaking down better than the animal based oils. I suspect that some of the chemicals mentioned in Tom’s post were put in the oil to keep it from rotting.
