Hello, I am currently fitting up my beginner's watchmaking workplace and I have been given a bundle of old tools. Among them, there was this one. The jaws have a notch, as (hopefully) visible on the second picture. Can someone please tell me what it is called and what is it for?

You could use them to remove the cannon pinon. I always recommend use the right tool for the job, there are many tools for the removal of cannon pinons.

 

 

nevenbekriev, what has your video got to do with the original question? Please do not hijack a thread just to post something. You can start a new thread. I might remove it.

Sorry, I didn't see this untill now.

Well, I use this tool for removing the roller. If You look at the video, in the beginning, the roller is removed for 2 seconds, by the same tool...

The other thing I use the tool is for removing the wheels that stay on the 3th wheel pivot and drive the seconds center pinion, and in chronographs on the 4th wheel pivot and drive the chrono

Oops, now that i checked, I have put wrong video, my mistake...

The correct one is here

We all make mistakes. Nice to see you have sorted it out.

    • I'm a little confused here before servicing everything was fine and now it's not? Then I'm assuming if you run it without the chronograph modular runs just fine or does it give you problems then? Then as far as tightening goes I've occasionally seen people use a staking set and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. You can also disassemble and flip it over that sometimes works. Otherwise try eBay and maybe one will come up. There is a tiny possibility if the Problem is on the gear part and not on the center tube that you could purchase a shorter version and pop it on your longer version that's a speculation on my part that may be that might work but if the tube itself is worn then you're going to have a problem then it's back to eBay and just try to find one in the first place all sorts of things will show up on eBay sooner or later.    
    • Why do you need a whole balance assembly (balance complete)? Staffs are readily available and cheap.

    • Righty ho, I re-serviced the chrono module and got a reasonable result with minimal loss of amplitude when not running the chrono and about 30 degrees loss when running. Great. The problem is now that the chrono (and movement) stops running after about a minute or so, a tap on the watch starts it running again. No issues with the movement running when the chrono is stopped. Going to service it yet again, obviously some residual issues with friction in the chrono module (Very frustrating - I wish there was some way of testing it as I go!) I also seem to have a problem with the cannon pinion where the movement is running continuously (with the chrono stopped) but it's losing significant time / stopping. This is one of those two piece ETA style with a driving wheel pressed over the cannon pinion, obviously arranged for driving the chrono module. I had no issues with this prior to service and just added a small amount of grease between the driving wheel and the centre cannon pinion as the technical guide required. What's the best way of tightening these up? I would like to replace it but I guess this is going to be hard to find as it is dedicated to the DD chrono movement. 
    • He uses the micrometer cap, but he leaves the spring out (you can see that in the video). If you leave the spring in, the spindle will move up as well (as shown by @Knebo).
