Thats not to say don't use this tool for removing hands, thats something you have to decide for yourself. What works for one person doesn't always work for another and tools are not always used exclusively for their intended purpose. You will know whats right if and when you make a mistake with them. -

Verry impressive picture, have never seen something similar. The white powder on the previous picture must be abrasive. Actually, the clock is not submarine one. It is regular ship cabin clock. The submarine ones have 24H dial. The parts are really big, isn't it time to attempt making new staffs for the fork and balance? -

The tools shown are all roller removers that is the only description, there are also prices quoted from 1899 the date of the catalogue. The 4517 is the tool you and I have, i think i have 3 of them different sizes and also 2 of the 4516 tools. The roller sometimes needs to be removed so different tasks can be carried out to the balance ie. fitting a new staff. Always mark the position of the ruby pin so you can reposition the roller in the correct place. Its position can be worked out but its much easier to mark it before removing it. Most folks preference is to remove the hands with levers, some may like the correct presto tool. -

If someone has used a cylinder for an arbor Hector would have spotted that for sure. I'm amazed it could even move, it must have to get to that state .
