A Dumont & Fils question


Takingblame

Recommended Posts

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

    • Ok thanks Ross, I will give that a try!😁
    • Welcome my friend. 
    • Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.
    • Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?
    • Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross
