Hi, new guy here. I recently came upon a collection of a Dumont & Fils tweezers. I know they are specialty tweezers for watch repair. Can any one shed some light on the tweezers and specific use cases?? I don't repair watches, but I figured I would come here to ask the pros about them.

Thanks!! I will post a gallery to the tweezers when I get home tonight.

Are you selling them??

Yes I will be selling them, I would like to sell them to some one who will use them for the specific use case they were designed for. I build race drones and do some machining on a lathe, so the precision of these tweezers is wasted on what I usually use tweezers for.

 

I will probably keep maybe one or two. What ever I feel I will actually use. I don't see my self using the very fine tip pairs.

I noticed there was NOT a classified section of this forum; so out of respect for this community I had no plans to post links to my ebay page. I will have to read through the rules and regs to figure out the best way to give the members of this forum an opportunity to acquire sought after tools.
Finding a good home for these tools is the main reason I am here.
I am assuming as with most who frequent this forum, tools are more than tools. They are legacy items.

There is lots of different Dumont tweezers. Different models are prefered by different watchmakers.

Hey thanks for this link. Is there some where, where I can find info on the number system used to identify different models?? I assume it's a guage rating relative to the small components of watch movements; but not quite sure.

There are many outlets for selling goods on the net, but this forum has a strict no- sales policy.

Thanks for the info. I will be sure to familiarize myself with the rules and regs fo this forum before I continue on.

I think that if you post some pics of your creations and work this thread will lighten up :)

Don't be too quick in taking blame LoL

      Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor.

      I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂

      Not sure, but just looking at it, it seems like the screw on the right may be a fake? The one on the left may not be a screw in the regular sense at all, rather a 2 position device, I think you need to point the slot towards either of the 2 dots and one will secure and one will open. Like I said this is just my best guess looking at the pictures.

      Hi! I am in the process of restoring a rado captain cook mkII. I want to remove the rotor, but I am not sure how to and need some help. As you can hopefully see on the photo there are 2 screws. The left one has two positions, the right one looks like a regular screw. I have tried turning the right one, but it does not give even after using more force than I would expect. Anyone know the function of the left screw with the two positions and how to remove the rotor? Thanks!!
