Cool! You're either going to have a lot of fun, or (like me) you're going to get really aggravated when you find out that the serviced watches you were so proud of aren't running as well as you thought they were :huh:

I think you'll probably have fun :biggrin:

Very nice toys! How is your progress so far with them? I got the same equipment (timegraph 1900 actually but very, very much the same). The demag tool requires some practice but it works fine. When I gave some MRI treatment to my watches in the timegraph most of my Seikos and some ETA were really off. I'm still getting there with them...nevertheless, the brand new one was behaving perfectly! Here is one ready for servicing:

Mostly off by a couple of mins a day as I expected except a seiko sportsmatic which was .1ms and the Roamer popular which I'd serviced the night before but not cased up that was .1 too all the rest are way out. So I'm having fun regulating about 30 watches I'm getting used to the demag its pretty much the same as my old one that was my grandads and was a antique and was quite scary to use and has probably done me irreversible  damage :D

    • Update: I posted over on NAWCC and it looks like I melted the fine coil wires where they come into the solder lugs. After dropping the heat way down on my iron and being absurdly careful, I have a humming fork!
    • Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?    
    • Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank     
    • It was £10 + min fee, total £16, could not leave it there. Its a Stanton A.D.2. http://stanton-instruments.co.uk/
    • Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes.
