Hi, I am starting my first watch repair. The miyota fs00 just died on my watch and I will try to replace it.

I have ordered a new movement I figure it out how to remove the stem.

Now I would need some tools. 

Thinking of a hand removal levers and hand press

I am adding the links for what I think I need. Is it good for what I need or do I need better tools. Miota has 3 really small hands...

Thank you all.

 Telling us how far you want to go in your journey into watch repair helps. Here we are quick to recommend the best quality tools as though everyone who joins aims to master horology.

 There is also the question of how rough one is with objects. My son, now 27, will break anything before he gets home from shopping. My father kept safe a bowl his grandfather bought in europe.

 Welcome to the forum and good luck.

      How do you thread a screw on the lane without shearing it off?

      By caseback · Posted

      My second suspect would be the O1 tool steel. Is it still "soft" enough after the turning operation? If the part got hot, it might be work hardened, making it more difficult to thread and easier to break.

      @Mark Thanks for letting me know. I'll start a new thread. @AndyGSi Thanks too for that tip. I might be able to turn them down if need be. 🤞

      Bracelet Extender Sizing

      By Curare · Posted

      Thanks for that Andy, Yes the new bracelet is worth more than the watch itself, Its one I have bought to service and clean-up and on-sell it as a project, look it may sell to someone who has a small wrist, I think I will buy an extender and may-be offer it up with a normal strap as well CJ

      Not always that simple. Typically the only reason we would have any way of identifying a watch is if parts were available at any time and somebody had a parts reference book then they would help you to identify the watches that they have parts or. Unfortunately there are hundreds of thousands of watch movements with no identification and of course typically no parts the classic place were watches would be identified would be under the balance wheel and your pictures don't really show a good view of that. Occasionally I've seen watches marked under one of the plates. They felt very proud of their watch is a very prominent Swiss company and they ask he stamped the bottom of a plate so you have disassembled find it. Then there is the other system the keyless parts make up something called the fingerprint system but you still haven't given us enough information to make use of that. Here's an image showing what a fingerprint system looks like. The PDF is based on the physical book the physical book has sizes of watches these are smaller ladies watches and keyless parts which in the physical book are printed at the actual size of the watch parts. So to identify with the keyless we need in your case diameter measured on the dial side and a good picture of the keyless parts and then you have to hope that this was made within the right time span of the books that have this system on the other hand a lot of times on the dial side they will also put markings. So basically to identify a movement it has to come out of the case and has to be disassembled.
