My new old staking set arrived


Recommended Posts

Here are a couple of more pictures of the set after minor repair of the box and basic cleaning. I -think- the knob at the very top of the tool adjusts the tension the bit is held at. The other part of the box, actually the bottom, needs a little more basic repair.

Doesnt  look too bad nibbler. What make is it ? The punches look ok. What is the striking end like ? This should give you an indication of how much use they have had

Buying more tools never seems to be a problem.

Now is assembled and more or less in one piece its looking quite complete including a K&D balance staff remover. A good purchase that should last for years.

It's lasted longer than the box 🤔

I had exactly the same thing happen to me when I purchased my first set on eBay. Seller left all the stakes and anvil in the box with resulting breakage of box.
 

At least your anvil and stakes look to be in very good shape on your set—enjoy (I use mine way more than I ever imagined I would).

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
