#1 looks like the worlds most complex case back remover.

I love the movement holder, i nearly won one just like it on ebay the other day but my bloody phone crashed at the end. I was rather pissed off   about it 😤

A nice easy hand one as well to make up for it. Mine has never failed me yet. Oohh pivot drills and holders, roller remover, hand remover, cool looking pliers, a cuddly toy, a teasmade, a and set of matching pans. 👍

A ? At first i thought some kind  of lapping wheel, thought the stud was an arbor, but no. B - a staking block ? C - homemade tool.  D- are these reaming tools ? Countersinks. E- a vice for hand broaching ?. F and  G - for turning a balance staff on its balancewheel for repivotting like a jacot.

May not all be correct lol. Based on tools that  I've seen similar.

A. Looks like soft leather for the inside of crystals.

What would this be for ? Watch repairers make all sorts of home made tools to suit how they work some of which can only be guessed as to their use. As soon as I started repairing I was doing the same. I come up with all sorts of crazy ideas. Some work some don't 😉

Just trying to be funny here, but #3 looks like the end of an old wooden crutch that was cut down and threaded at the top =D

Good examples of overengineered and under-engineered. 

Love seeing cool tools and figuring out what they are used for. Thanks for sharing, Mark!

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Waggy · Posted

      Maybe I'm over simplifying this and I'm a little late to the discussion, but just by my looking at oil when I use it on a treated cap jewel  the oil stays in one nice bubble, but when I don't it spreads out to the edges of the jewel. I'm not sure (but could well be wrong) but the analogy of a waxed car and rain is accurate in this case, the wax is very hydrophobic and repels the water, however, the process epilame works by is a different physical process based upon cohesion/adhesion (oleophilic) not repulsion (oleophobic)  at least as far as I have read/observed. If one were to use a oleophobic substance equivalent to wax (hydrophobic) then one would need to create a donut shape to fence in the oil, however if one used such a strategy with a epilame which is oleophilic then the oil would sit on the ring of the donut and not in the 'donut hole', exactly where you don't want it. Even if the oil is smeared then the oleophilic epilame should pull it back to the center (see diagram below). Reference

      Looks lint the teeth on the hour wheel aren't meshing with the teeth on the calendar intermediate wheel, maybe the hour wheel is sitting on top of this instead of meshing?

      If the oil drop was freely standing on an epilame treated cap jewel it could easily slide off if you knocked the watch hard but the balance pivot keeps it in place.

      Latest 404 is this Baron which has a copy of a Seiko 66B movement in it, handy when I needed to find a replacement setting lever. Apart from the setting lever, crown, stem and new crystal (original was cracked) the watch is original. Finished result:
