Pressing Of Pushers.

[rogart63]

Have an old Omega memomaster that i bought for the pushers. Cheap. Do i really need to buy a £100 tool to press the pushers out. Any alternative to Horotec and Bergeon tool?

Hi Roger,

 

The alternatives from them are about the same...I don't know if you require a special tool but the complete set of pusher tools from Horotec is about that price...sorry about the bad news...maybe some other member knows better?

 

This is what I use:

  and this:

And there is this option too, but I don't have them:

 

 

In order of from top to right to bottom: US$290, US$140 and US$58 each or US$174 since your can buy separate or complete set (only for screwing pushers...I hope the word "up" was not omitted  in the "brochure"  :) ).

 

The second picture is a set I find kind of flimsy...I broke some of the tips and had to replace them...doesn't come with instructions so it may have been me or simply it is not too good. I've also found it of little use and sometimes a different tool may do the job better....in combination with a hammer too, out of frustration on those old, rusty cases I work on deceiving myself thinking it is fun until...well, I don't want to get started! Amazing what people do to watches! :)

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

Personally I would pop down to my local smith and ask him if he could push them out for me, might cost a couple of quid for his time but a damn site cheaper than buying those tools unless you are going to be using them every day for profit.

I think this one would work on pushers as well - send me a PM!
