Hi there, I've been looking at tools to repair slack bracelets, but the prices are eye wateringly high, there are 3 types from what I can see and they run at around $400 each does anyone have a workaround or alternative tool that could be re-purposed to do the same job?

I don't think so. Have you noticed how robust and hefty those clamps are?

Take a look at those tools in action and you'll understand. 

 

 

Take a look at similar tools from AliExpress. They are made by Kwong Yuen, which is one of the better Chinese brands.

I agree with the above, I watched a few videos on bracelet repair and can see that these tools are built to handle the stresses and strains of the job - as I don't do a lot of work requiring these tools, it will move to the bottom on my ever growing watch tools list.

      I have to add my thanks to @Mark for all he does here and his other site. It was Marks YouTube channel which got me into the track of the possibilities of repairing my own watches and servicing them. If I can help out at all as a moderator I volunteer wholeheartedly.   Tom

      Well Gentlemen and Ladies I think we should thank @Mark for his posts putting our minds to rest and the explanation of running the site which is done very well. As a resource for watch repairs for new and old I would rate it second to none, the casual banter and dissemination of information  top notch, let us ll enjoy working on here and helping others. Any one can PM me as Iam sure others as well if it has to off the “record” and Marks blessing on that.   We appreciate that Mark is a busy man and totally appreciate what he does for us all.    So from me THANK YOU MARK. from an old timer.

      Dial Dots

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi it depends on the watch. The ones with the day date complications  dial dots are not really any good as you have difficulty getting the clearance between day date wheels a the dial.  Dial feet can be fitted no problem, there are several options, the cheapest is to mill out where the foot is and glue a new foot on. ( available fron Cousins UK ) mterialhouse . Or solder on a new foot, only problem with that is you need great care not to mark the dial. I use a DIY. Dial foot machine works no problem.

      If everything is inside them, then once restored and keeping time the oris could be worth 20 -30 each, I've paid a lot more Oris date pointers in the past. Bought this last week for a quid at a carboot sale. A cute little Smiths made in England alarm clock. The alarm didn’t function properly because the movement wasn't fastened in. But it runs perfectly now, the previous made a bit of a mess of the dial but i still love it. For the Smiths lovers here's  a picture of the inside before i case it up again. Still with it the original Jewellers box.

      The canon  pinion height must match the one you are removing, the physical size of the movement if it’s the same as the one removed should fit ok. The bogey hole is the height  to maintain clearance from the crystal
