The lady that sold me her fathers watchmaking stuff texted me today letting me know there was more stuff she didn't know about and that it will be in the estate sale that starts tomorrow.  I'm thinking of taking half a day off of work and trying to buy a few items.  Does anyone know what the things are? Bottom right I believe are pin vises.  Here is the posting which shows everything.  Seems like quite a lot and I don't even know what half of it is.  What I bought already included some watch cleaning baskets I could use in the ultrasonic but it was mostly just the lids so I'm hoping I can at least find the rest of them.

The bottom right are jeweling tools.

 

Bottom left and above the jeweling tools seem to be poising tools.

 

Not sure but the top left looks like a pivot tool {edit} Second thoughts - probably not {/edit}

 

Bottom middle - three items possibly not related to each other - the bottom of the three looks like a pin vice with a rotating head, the top could be part of a lathe jacot attachment. Guesses.

I'm still debating going since its a 3 hour drive there and back. Those stones and the cleaning baskets are the main thing I'm interested in.

After looking at my bank account, I decided not to go.  There are a few things that I would have liked but I have plenty of things to work on now - (getting rust off the tools I have, selling off stuff that was inside the watchmakers desk, working on finishing the 6498 and restoring the watchmakers desk). 

 

EDIT: I also have to finish this project for my wife:

      About repair watch's jewel.

      By jhoho202 · Posted

      First of all, thank you for the pdf file of the book on how to replace a gem. So, if there is a problem with the ruby in the movement, should I buy a new or used movement and replace it? When I watch videos on YouTube of people fixing used watches, I feel like there should be a way to buy a gem. Is there no way to buy it?

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      By praezis · Posted

      I suppose @donutdan is not forced to earn his living by repairing watches.  I suppose he does it as a hobby and wants to gain experience, to get better in watchmaking and time is not the issue. Then @donutdan should rather try to repair the damage instead of swap parts from a maybe intact other movement. Swapping parts is not watchmaking. And often swapped parts are not the expected solution of all problems. All mentioned damages are repairable. Frank

      Chinese tools debate

      Yeah I figured that one out when I googled and realized that my spindle is actually from Horia. It's smooth with no screwable cap.

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.

      Oiling Dubois Depraz chrono module pivots (Omega Speedmaster Reduced)

      By Simeon · Posted

      Actually, this could be the issue. Drag from the module could be overcoming the cannon pinion. It was definitely not at the point that the driving wheel was loose on the cannon pinion, it took a little bit of effort to rotate it when applying the grease. Maybe I need to look again at applying oil to the pivots.    Yeah, it's very annoying. I don't want to give up on it, so back on with it over again until I catch a break.
