The case looks home made. The stakes and anvils look a little rough, but most importantly it's missing the staking tool itself. If your intent is to have a complete staking set, you'll need to make sure you get a tool that the stakes and anvils fit. If the stakes are not marked, then you'll have to measure them to figure out which tool they will work with and then track one down by itself. Usually they stay together as a set.

Its already been said the main piece is missing. I would save your money and look for a better complete set. What sort of price are you thinking of. Then I can look on the net for you.

Hi from Lexington, could be a Boley or Levin, definitely not K&D or Marshal, there are several makers, anyhow the stake sometimes can be found by itself on eBay under 'staking set', most of the punchs and stumps fit most brands in my findings but not always, the punchs and stakes need cleaning up,  a decent complete K&D might be less though

oldhippy is correct as usual. There is too much missing and unidentified. It would be one thing if you already had a matching staling tool and were looking for a few stakes and stumps. With this set you limit your options since you’re looking for the staking tool to match the stakes. Better to go for a more complete set in nice condition. It is an important tool…

The kit is incomplete as you can see. My wife sent me the pictures & no name on the box. Anyone recognize it from the images & give recommendation? $25

There has certainly been some kind of homemade alteration to the box as the original base looks like it is now the top of the lid. These punches could be a mix and match of a few different brands that a dodgy seller has put together. As has been mentioned some makes are the same size but not all, 4.7mm is a common size, i have a Boley a Star and another unknown make that are all 4.7mm. If its really cheap then some of these may come in to add to an incomplete set or another mixed up set that comes your way. The best decision is to wait for one that can be confirmed as fully original, but the asking price will nearly always be high.

Hi as has been said it has the main part missing but has a good array of punches etc.  depending on price and size 4.7mm might be worth picking up as extras, but look towards getting a complete set with 4.7 mm punches. The set shown will require a little cosmetic work to bring them up to standard.  Condition of the box is of little importance as it exists to hold the tools and in its present condition could also do with a face lift. It is home made.

      Sellita SW 220 Hack issue

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      yes the end stones on the balance are flat on one side curved on the other. So yes curves side out unless you would like to reduce your end shake and have issues like you're having. Oh and minor technical problem the lift angles 50° according to the tech sheet. you dropped off a specification like the watch was fully wound up or its 24 hours later? So dial-up and dial down should be as close to identical as possible you have 221 and 215 maybe it's okay but it seems like they should be a little closer. Then as soon as you go to the crown positions dropping below 200.this is definitely a problem watch companies don't care about the maximum amplitude sort of in not supposed to go above 315° on this watch but at the end of 24 hours in the 6H  which is basically the 6 o'clock is up at the end of 24 hours it cannot go below 200° and basically all of your crown positions are unacceptable. Here is what the specifications are you will note that watch companies do not get obsessed with amplitudes like they do in this group. They only get obsessed with amplitudes at 24 hours for which this watch is unacceptable. although I'm assuming and I hate to do that that this watch is probably fully wound up and it 24 hours probably a miracle if the watch runs at all.

      Also when you have it on the bench. Check that the rack is dropping the full amount and in the right place  on the snail.

      I agree with clockboy. Just so you know what part is the snail here is a picture of a movement and I have marked the snail for you.

      Reversing wheels for ETA 2824 = SW200-1 and ETA 2892 = SW300-1

      By ColdWind · Posted

      My watchmaker friend once told me that you can swap reversing wheels between SW200 and ETA 2824 but NOT the whole bridge, just the wheels. I asked him that about parts interchangeability because I was working on a Maurice Lacroix with a rusted SW200's ball bearing. He said that he doesn't know about the bearing but I try swapping anyway, first I put the whole ETA rotor on the SW200 and it worked perfectly, so I punched the rusted bearing on the Maurice Lacroix rotor out and replaced it with ETA's. Since the bearing gear connects directly to the reversing wheels I say the wheels must be swappable. Don't know about 2892 and SW300 though, I never asked my friend about that. I wish someone out there with parts could spend their time to try swapping parts between various ETAs and SWs then make a compatible list, we the community would really appreciated it.
