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. 
https://www.dumonttweezers.com/

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

      In the meantime whilst awaiting a better plan, please drop me a quick hello on my email.

      I looked at it like this, I've built a lot of stuff in my time, building structures and furniture,those are my creations and they will still be here way way after I'm gone. Traditional watchmakers felt the need to pass their knowledge on, ideas that they created . I assume with them as it is with me, leaving their mark on the earth, a way of being remembered. This creation of Mark's has brought thousands of people together to pass their knowledge around,  ideas that will continue to be used for lifetimes. Ideas that should continue to be procured. If for whatever reason the forum ceased to exist, not quite like Ranfft's, that didn't disappear but much less usable. Then that is sad, such a massive loss of communication between good people and a wealth of knowledge lost. There should be something in place for when that happens which could be next week, next year or in 10 years. Might not be a topical subject for a lot of folk or boardering on controversy, i did say i talk about stuff other people dont. But if you dont talk about it and something happens then you've lost it and you ain't gonna fix it .

      I've remained silent on this thread, and at the risk of upsetting everyone, the thing that worries me the most the the apparent absence of Mark. The moderators do a great job and the members also pitch in, and the site seems to run itself, but it is a concern for the future of this forum when the owner is absent for all intents and purposes. Like many of the comments above I would hate to log in one day and things be closed down as I rely on this site for ideas and knowledge and also cheer me up. maybe the Moderators could reach out to him, assuming he does not read this thread, and express our concerns and let us know the plans going forward? some kind of WRT ark

      That was the exact reason for me starting this thread watchie. Still we haven't worked out how the regulars are going to hook up if it goes tits up. I honestly think something should be arranged to stay in contact, we all help each other so much.

      Yeah ive watched that a few times before,  i couldnt find my old school dividers to scribe it up 😅 Yep thats the guy i bought a roll from . Thanks Nicklesilver that answers that perfectly and more or less what i thought an experiment over time would prove . The jumper arm is quite thick along its length, i left it that way intentionally, i thought the original was probably very thin, i didnt see that it was already missing. Setting isn't particularly stiff as such just positive, i still need to take it out and polish where it mates with the stem release.
