Dear all,

 

Recently my watch repair uncle passed away and I inherited many of his tools. I just started my journey into watch repair/maintenance doing only maintenance on the most basic of movements. So my knowledge is very limited. Some of his tools I do not know the purpose off, can you please help?

No 1 I think it’s to support watch hands. I own one which I got it in a job lot of horological tools a while ago and must admit I have never used it.

No 2 is a mainspring hole punch.
No 3 ????
No 4 Looks like an adjustable watch case opener.
No 5 Might be a spring bar bending tool.

1 is a Watchmaker Hand Broaching Holding Pliers

Number 3 is a watch bracelet cutter, I had one, it is for cutting the ends of the  bracelet if it is to wide for the watch case.  You put the end of the bracelet in one of the holes  and  squeeze the handles to cut.

4 is an adjustable case opener but it is missing parts. Here it is complete. 

5 is for bending spring bars.

      What does this repeating timegrapher trace mean?

      So you apply the Fixodrop after oiling? How do you apply it? Thanks.

      Quick intro

      By HectorLooi · Posted

      I wouldn't say it's super easy. A correct size mainspring winder is needed and leaving the T end out of the winder is the trick to get it in. Not the easiest thing for a newbie.

      Issue with Seiko 4006 Barrel Arbor and Mainspring Fitment

      By TimepieceTinkerer · Posted

      Apparently this the case.  Thanks  Update on Seiko 4006 Barrel Arbor Issue Just a quick update for those who kindly offered their help—thank you again! I’ve now confirmed that the issue was due to an incorrect barrel arbor. I ordered the Seiko 213.805 barrel arbor from Cousins (part number SEI213805), which was listed as compatible, but after comparing it closely and contacting Cousins, they confirmed that the part was not correct for the Seiko 4006. It turns out the wrong item had been listed or picked. That explains why the arbor didn’t seat properly or extend far enough to hold the barrel assembly securely. I appreciate everyone’s input—it really helped me think through the problem more clearly. Thanks again for your support! TT

      Titan 5130

      By HectorLooi · Posted

      Had another strange one on my bench. A Titan ladies watch with an unknown movement. It had a battery leak and initial test revealed a short circuit. I removed the PCB and gave it an acid wash. The short was cleared and I reassembled the movement and dropped in a new battery. I thought that was it, job done. But when I looked at the second hand carefully, I noticed something wasn't right. It would tick one second, then twitch the next second. Like ... tick ... twitch ... tick ... twitch. Weird! So I disassembled everything and ran it through a cleaning cycle. I didn't take any photos during disassembly because I thought "how hard could it get? It a quartz watch". Boy was I wrong. Took me 2 hours to figure out where everything went. But everything worked out fine in the end.  After dinner, I researched more on the Titan watch company and found out that the movement is an in-house movement, the 5130. There was a video on YouTube even.
