Loose/ worn  set lever screw or worn stem, back plate might need to be removed. 

Welcome to the WRT forum.

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.

Tom

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.

      Cleaning after pegging jewels

      By Waggy · Posted

      I think from my own findings and what has been said here that I'll switch to naphtha as my post-pegging solvent, its also more compatible with my watch cleaning chemicals too. Making a new batch of watch cleaning solution and rinse solutions this weekend!

      Cleaning after pegging jewels

      Interesting! Thanks for sharing this. I wonder, though, if the substances evaporate in similar quantities. What I mean is: let's say, if we open one container with acetone and one with naphtha for 10 seconds each. How many PPM's of each would go into the air for us to breathe in? Hypothetically, if acetone (1000ppm OSHA limit) evaporates 10 times faster than naphtha (100ppm OSHA limit), then they'd actually be equivalent in practical use. Anyways... if feel relatively safe with these solvents because I only open the jars very briefly and close immediate + I always open the windows wide when I do anything with these solvents.

      Jewel measurement and ordering sanity check

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      No need to doubt, You have received the wrong stone. 120 is 120 and will allways measure 120 as out diameter. What You did wrong is that You reamed the hole to 119, believing that this is the right way to fit new jewel there. Actually, the original jewel was rolled there and the hole and surrounding place has dedicated shape, and there often is no enough 'meat' to ream the hole and have normal walls as result, that will hold the pressed new type of stone right.  Often the decision is to ream enough so the surrounding of the hole is gone and make a bush that fits in this new hole, and the bush internal hole will take the stone. So now You can do just the same - ream more, fit bush in place and fit the stone in the bush.

      Talk me out of polishing this pocket watch

      By oldhippy · Posted

      The back when new would have been the same colour as the rest of the case as you can see very dark gun  metal is a very dark blue/black and would not be shiny. So unless the owner intends to match it how it would have been when new which  I don't think it can. It should be left as it is.

      Why all the fuss? I just use a big eyebrow tweezer to grip it and it works fine. The eyebrow tweezer also works great for replacing Chinese Incabloc springs that fall out.
