Got this as part of a purchase.  Seller was but entirely sure but assumed to be for removing jewels? Opening up the burnishing (if there is any).  Any confirmation or reference to a web location with more info is appreciated!

Ive seen these on ebay in little cases with other relevant parts that go with it. I did know what it was for but for the life of me just cant remember.  There is a place where you can search through a watchmaker's catalogue of tools. I had a quick look but there are over 700 pages so i gave up and thought I'd pass the work onto you 😂. Give  me a min and I'll come back with a link to it.

it actually works better if you just download the catalog in your favorite format. Then there's index in the back which sometimes helps. unfortunately the tool catalog does not explain how to use the tool

Thanks everyone! .  This is so awesome to get this help.  If it still was for sale for a buck twenty five … I would get two, just to be sure.  Grin.  
 

thanks again all. I’ll be trying to find the rest of the other components!

Tool is used for milling the bearing for rubbed-in jewels. For those without a lathe…

Its nice to have old tools cluttering your bench waiting 5 years or more to be used. I have a seperate bench for that exact purpose 🤷‍♂️

      Case needed a lapping machine....So I improvised - Results are amateur but promising

      By thor447 · Posted

      Since I couldn't slow the machine down enough for my liking, I started off slowly with a higher grit.  I began (very lightly) with 1000 grit paper: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DTJBND1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Finished with 3000 grit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DTFSMT1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Afterwards I went on to polish with traditional methods using felt & cotton wheels, with different grades of Dialux. Hope this helps.

      Without Our Forum

      Ok so there is barely any response happening . After this last attempt i think I'm just going to give up on it because very few seem genuinely interested or even bothered or worried what may happen in the future. ( if someone can set me straight I'd love to hear it ) I would think anyone into watches has heard of Roland Ranfft, how they grew to love and depend upon his site for detailed information. And not just that, he also had a view about Ebay and everyone that visited Roland's site knew exactly what he thought about Ebay, Roland's site also had a secondhand watch sale side to it.  If anyone here could have done anything to preserve his site and keep it exactly the way it was.........Would you have done something to make that happen ?  Its been pointed out to me but not in so many words  that I'm probably coming across as an insensitive p.rick, truly I'm sorry about that, i say it as it is but no malice is intended and yes clearly I'm putting my forum membership on the line here. I'll happily shut up about it now, I've done all i can.

      A see-through vintage Swatch! Service walkthrough of a ETA 2842 with Video

      By grenert · Posted

      Thank you so much for posting this!  Although this movement is serviceable, there are no service notes that I've been able to find.  This is a great alternative!

      Learning Watch repair maintenance

      By rjenkinsgb · Posted

      Greetings from another electronics designer & programmer!   I suggest you get a batch of similar scrap movements from ebay - I found batches of Seikos very cheaply, I got seven of one type for £11 (or 11 Euros possibly?). Those were ladies, 4206B I believe. There are also mens movements at a slightly higher price; eg. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134723051997 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235565276549 They are cheap enough so it does not matter what gets messed up or lost & you can probably still get one or two working movements from a batch, even if some part are damaged when you get them. (I've had quite a bit from the guy in Holland, he usually has a good range of movements).

      Please OH, we should all be proud of our collections what ever they are. If we can't show them off here then we can't show them anywhere. Our favourite gives us a story to tell of why we love it, that story also tells others something about ourselves. These are some of the things that make our forum and our community so amazing .
