Hi Richard,

I saw that auction earlier and was wondering too as the only incabloc tools I have seen are for jewelling tools, like these.

Yes, I have seen the set cousins offer.  Maybe someone will enlighten us.

Hello all.  These are part of a job lot on ebay, the description states incabloc removal tool but I'm not sure.  I can't see how they would remove the shock spring or setting.

I cant see why you would need anything besides tweezers or a pointy implement to release the spring. Maybe in the plastic container is the pointy part. The driver style handle does suggest you are turning something. Sellers often gets tool uses wrong even the wrong trade use. Tom's link to cousins punches and stumps could be for adjusting the setting height.

You do know that there is more to the setting than just releasing the spring don't you? What if you had to disassemble or remove the entire setting how would you do that with your tweezers?

Hi John.  I do John, my reply was to RichardHarris123 in agreement as to how they could or couldn't remove the inca spring itself.

@JohnR725, your imput is invaluable and of course you were invited into the thread. @Neverenoughwatches was just confirming that the tools weren't for the shock spring, please do not take offence, texting is inferior to speech, so much is lost.

No not at all john. I mean  my reply was a part answer just agreeing with richard that the tool didnt look like it could be used to remove a spring and why would you need anyting besides a pair of tweezers. I didn't address the use of the tool to remove a setting. Maybe it lifts the cap jewel or pivot jewel or chaton.

Did you know when people are having bad days it might come out in other ways that may be it wasn't entirely intended?

Oh it would probably help if we had a better picture

image.thumb.png.93787ad94ed3a49026e60cd107ebd6d0.png

Why do we need a better picture well it would've been nice if the person photographing it done much much better picture but still we need the better picture like above and then we have an amusing problem well not a problem but the question

For instance if you only saw the image I have below what would you think these are

image.png.c8ea47b4b881feb62a9f7dfcb3771479.png

They look like screwdrivers to me? Then if you look at the other end they appear to be round and Anything I'm doing to enhance the image isn't working there is no detail in the tips themselves other than the physically round. They also come with replacement tips which none of this would be needed to work with the spring on a balance jewel.

So my best guess is there some sort of socket set probably for removing screws on a case back.

Oh and the problem with people selling watch tools are unless they know they will make guesses.

Then yes interesting assortment of tools notice the brass handle things in the middle those are actually quite useful. Not that everything else is useful but those are interesting.

They certainly are John, i have a set in fact 2 sets i think.  Would you call them deburring tools, oil sink tools, countersinks ? I have feeling there are two types , a type for cutting and a type for smoothing.

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      By Kalanag · Posted

      @GuyMontag good find! Even the micro stellas are cloned in the Daytona fake! Around $2600 is mentioned in the thread. https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fnewest-development-from-ace-v0-61r4zxq1q2xd1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1080%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Dd5dd3a29a3d1668077d4a4c894a09c76f6f66de9

      Full plate watch, Suitable tool for adjusting & testing pallet stones?

      By mbwatch · Posted

      See I wondered about this because Frei only lists one part for 18 size, no left or right options whereas they specify left and right for the other sizes. (I happen to be working on a grade 88) I recall seeing an old video of Elgin making laps and jewels in the factory (maybe you were the one who shared it) I have one very weird warming tool which has springy jaws that can open wide enough to hold this type of fork flat, and it swivels so you can position either side over the heat source. It works great for melting shellac on a firmly held fork EXCEPT can you guess what its fatal design flaw is?....   ....you cannot open the springy clamp once it has been heated because you would need to pinch them both between your fingers and you get a second degree burn. Genius.

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      The other thing that makes pallet forks like this interesting is or some of these interesting it when they're not level they don't fit well on the pallet fork warming tool and melting to shellac becomes a challenge. One of things you want to do when working on vintage pocket watches is accumulate broken pocket watches and swiped the jewels from them. Because as you're finding out the vintage jewels were probably not made out of Sapphire there are made out a Garnet and Garnet doesn't seem to hold up as well as shellac. Then the last little part about stones pointing in different directions doesn't make sense? There's always a left stone a right stone angles are different and they both have to be in the same direction. Although I once had a pocket watch command were somebody put one of the stones in backwards and surprisingly the watch ran. Then on some watches I done this with 12 size watches I've been able to swipe pallet stones from other 12 size not even the same company because they may have purchased or stones although Elgin I know at some point in time did make their own tools and had a separate section of the factory that made diamond grinding compound for all their lap and during work. Then when the company got liquidated the diamond division was sold the somebody else in the last I knew it was still running out there but not of course under the Elgin name. Still making diamond grinding compound.   From the 1915 parts catalog you can see all 18 and 16 size pallet stones are basically identical. The difference is what they're made out of and one of them that they didn't policy side in stone probably in a seven jewel watch no one would ever see that anyway. Then you have a new or the old style determines its thickness and you would have of course right and left Then I'm attaching a PDF of Elgin escapement terminology is it is nice drawing to show you the difference between the left and right stones.

      Loose roller table

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      The roller table is supposed to be held on by friction. If there is shellac under the roller table it might indicate that an improper repair had occurred prior to this as it would not be held in place with shellac. Sometimes overenthusiastic people re-shellacking the roller jewel will get shellac where it's not supposed to be. Then the picture of your roller it looks kind of damage? It doesn't quite look right it looks like somebody held with a pair of pliers or something? Then your balance wheel has limited quantity of screws? Not necessarily a problem but an indication of perhaps with the other things a prior bad repair perhaps as a guess.

      Rado DiaStar 129.0266.3 electronics Help

      Quartz watches like mechanical watches need to be serviced from time to time. In other words the lubrication with time we'll go bad and the watch Will not run or will not run very well in other words oh be slow because the gears are no longer turning properly due to bad lubrication. Then other things bad for quartz watches basically anything dust that normally wouldn't affect the mechanical watch will affect the quartz watch because the quartz geartrain has extremely little power. So looking at your movement up above more than likely you'd have to clean it and lubricated before the new circuit would work.
