Hi All,

I'm currently trying to sell some watch making tools on behalf of a family member and I came across this website while researching a Bergeon platax tool (2677) that I have.

Seemingly they are quite rare and sought after! 

Is it ok to post items for sale here straight away?

 

Thanks, Tim

Thanks for the reply! 

No problem, that's why I asked here first. I plan on keeping some of the tools and attempting to repair a few of the pocket watches myself so I'll stick around! 

I have some of the items listed on various groups on Facebook too if anyone wants to contact me about the tools.

I'll try and advertise it on eBay too. Although I've noticed that some items I have listed don't easily appear on other people searches for some reason, even with the exact title searched. 

I'm looking to sell it to pay for some legal fee's, the joys of dealing with a deceased persons house who didn't leave a will :)

Thanks for the advice!

    • That would be something! Which brings me back to;  
    • you think you're going to sleep tonight you're not, you're going to ponder the question of what makes you think those of the right parts?  
    • Does anyone knows what size case a need for a dial diameter 20.60mm?
    • Sounds like the story with my Rolex. Poor (expensive) job done by an official Rolex dealer with an "in-house" watchmaker, hence I learned watchrepair and did the servicing myself. Same story as I learned with the Omega 861, again poor job by an "in-house" watchmaker by an official Omega dealer. Once your watch goes through that back-door, you have no idea what is going to happening to it 🫣   Quite nice that they sent back the parts which had been replaced !
    • yes that's definitely not right at all. I have a picture one of my friends has a Omega coaxial there was having issues to lose asking me where he should send it. As that's a specialty watch I suggested the service center. When he got it back he sent me a picture so the replace the dial as you can see the hands the mainspring barrel and I think the price was really quite decent considering all the stuff they can replace. So I do know they do change the barrels but the other person I worked at the service center when I would ask questions and unfortunately I can't remember all the answers. I think a lot of the changing a parts is at the discretion of the watchmaker. Plus I don't know enough about the chronographs and whether that would be considered a vintage watch? I take some of the vintage watches may have been sent directly to Switzerland or another service center. Obviously with a watch like the one down below they probably have a infinite supply of parts is its relatively modern vintage stuff becomes more interesting even the watch companies don't have necessarily infinite supply of parts. But no matter what the watch shouldn't disintegrated six months that's definitely an issue.
