Thanks to everyone for your help. I am simply amazed at the knowledge of you folks. You are all truly "watchmasters".

I've used them for other hobbies and jobs I've had in the past, just wondered why people didn't use them in this. I may get some out and give them a go. However they're most likely magnetic so probably no good

I like the funky day/date setup, round and square windows in non-standard positions.

Do you use them? I have several pairs but never used them for watch repair work. The problem is the spring tension is already too high and may cause a "ping" when you release to grip the object. A conventional tweezer gives better tactile feedback. I use the fine grindstone on my bench grinder, then polish with a nylon fibre wheel to get a satin finish. I grind off about an 1 inch zone to distribute the stress to prevent metal fatigue from the repeated flexing. Take a close look at our College tweezers. Most of them have a thinner section just after the joint to give them flex.
