Thanks @Dell for asking!

I was following the thread as I've never heard of it.

Here's what a search found:

This is a special cleaning putty designed for watchmaker's to use when cleaning balance pivots, and removing fingerprints and stains from watch parts like plates, bridges, dials, and hands. It also works well when you need to remove excess oil from watch jewels, and helps with removing broken pivots from the jewels. It is a great product for cleaning precision watch parts and small gears.
