I found the bubble method to be very inaccurate.

In 25 years of W123 ownership, I have never heard of "drip
timing". Nor has any tech ever brought this up as a
maintenance issue or requirement.
Maybe it's time to find a good mechanic.
The timing changes with chain stretch. I am much less picky
than Marshal was, so I don't fiddle with the timing every degree
of chain stretch. But if the chain has about "6 degrees" of
stretch, I consider it due for replacement. If it has 3
degrees, I check the timing.
Usually, once it's set it stays there.
Common methods are drip and bubble. Neither are hard. Both are
a bit fiddley and don't always clearly show when the delivery
valve opens.
