GREEN GRAPHITE?

It's a type of varnish. It should be stripped off... So I advise leaving it alone and sanding the rollers, gently using emery paper 600 first, then 1000 and 1200, in the direction of the escapement, and then lightly passing a graphite stick directly over the rollers themselves. Very soft, cylindrical graphite sticks can be purchased in fine arts stores.

Always very kind, I thank you and say goodbye.

If I wanted to remove the green varnish, should I buy liquid graphite or do I need to buy it in powder form and dilute it with something? Thanks in advance Maestro Ferrarelli.

it is absolutely not worth it. You can do a test by brushing a tiny dot to see if the liquid graphite adheres to the green. But in reality, graphiting the repetition lever is done to eliminate the roughness of the wood surface. The green varnish achieves this purpose. Instead, I insist on using a graphite stick on the rollers or, even better, micro-teflon powder (absolutely NO TALC!) always after having gently sanded with 1200 grit sandpaper in the direction of the escapement)
