Identify watch tool accessory

[FredrikP]

Hi,

Just bought a jeweling "Favorite GB".  It is missing the blue marked tool accessories.

It also included some strange accessory which I don't think belongs to the favorite tool. Do anyone know what this accessory is ? (first picture)

Do you know if I can source the blue parts or some compatible replacement parts?

The items that you circled in blue are a clamping accessory and I think the collet holder that is also needed  for the reamers. In older versions of the Seitz tool, the holder is in a slot in the wood base sections.

The collet holder is identical to what is currently still made by Horia, the little faceplace is not available anywhere other than second hand. I've never used it, it just doesn't have the precision to be useful (I do faceplate work in the lathe). Horia also has the reamers available individually. They offer both roughing and finishing ones, the roughing are 5 sided like the Favorite, the finish are "D" type like Seitz and Chatons SA. I would get the D type.

 

Only hitch- the Favorite reamers have 2.2mm bodies, while Horia is 2mm. You don't have a 2mm collet in the set there, so you'll need one, also available from Horia.

Thanks!

This was exactly the information I was looking for,very much appreciated! 

I will try to order the Horia collet holder together with the reamers.
