Yep would have loved more on when the watch (unmodified) would actually break and also how you would fill it with oil? There can't be much space inside, at what point does the viscosity of the oil matter? how do you know you've got all the air out?

I'm assuming they are using mineral oil; I've not filled a watch with mineral oil, but I have worked with it. Mineral oil is not particularly viscous; some gentle tapping is probably enough to get all the bubbles out.

Here's a video of a PC immersed in mineral oil with an aquarium bubbler and you can see the bubbles rise fairly quickly:
