Watch tools identification challenge.

[BeyondWorld]

Hello people.

Bought some new watch tools in the market, came as a lot for £40. Only thing I really wanted in it was the heavy watch opener. 

Not sure what most of it is though. Anyone want to guess what some of these things are?

1) Well this is a the watch opener tool, pretty much the reason why I bought them.

Not sure what make it is though, no markings, and I think some bits are missing.

The pins I think some from other sets will fit in fine.

But the bases I'll probably have to make.

2) Not sure what this is for.

Seems complete, the missing bit in the box is in the other tool.

[BeyondWorld]

3) No idea again. 

[BeyondWorld]

4) This one I do know what is for, removing pins from bracelets. Never used one before though.

[BeyondWorld]

5) No idea. Maybe it's for something else?

[BeyondWorld]

6) A very early bergeon marked tool, just a movement or case holder.

[BeyondWorld]

7) This seems to be some sort of precision cutting tool, I'm not sure what for though.

[BeyondWorld]

8) I'm guessing this is for puffing air? 

I don't think it's for oil, atleast, I don't see how it wouldn't go everywhere if it was used for oil.

9) I have no idea haha.

10) And my last unidentified tool is this.

No idea what so ever this could be used for. Kinda looks like a cork screw.

Picture 2 Is the interchangeable rings that goes with tool from picture 3

Picture 3 Ring sizing stretching tool for rings without stones, such as wedding rings. The idea is to find the right width to fit the ring by changing the one on the right, the ring to be made bigger is put over the left side and in line with the right side, screw the thing close to the ring to be stretched then move the tool by tightening it and keep moving it back and forth. What will happen is the gold will stretch and increase in size.

Picture 4 I think is for making watch lugs curved.

Picture 5 is a vice for holding and filing down watch bracelets to fit the width of the watch.

Picture 7 Is a watch bracelet cutter, you put the end of the bracelet into the slot and squeeze and it will cut the end off then file and shape to fit the width of the watch.

Picture 9 I think is a burnisher used for placing gold leaf. It should be nice and shiny not rusty.

What I have described here I have used many times in the past in my workshop apart from tool 4

Another two antique tools. For pallets ? 
Would be the rubber hose for cooling of the shellac?

No. 3 I think looks like a strap spring bar bender.

I agree!

Nicely spotted.

Still no idea what this one is though, which is the biggest mystery one to me.
