A Dumont & Fils question

[Takingblame]

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??

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.

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.

Just to confirm what Geo has stated there are no sales allowed on this forum. If you go to eBay you will see Dumont tweezers for sale. This will give you a gauge re-the prices expected.

The numbers describe the tweezer patterns, but usage can be a personal preference. For example number 5 has very fine tips usually used for manipulating hairsprings.

Post some pictures here and the pattern numbers, then we'll all know what to hunt for on eBay!

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
