Help identify tool

[thessler]

Hi

I am new to this hobby and just picked up the L&R watch cleaner that I asked advise about.

While there the guy gave me what looks like a mini staking set. Not really sure of its use but it's in real nice shape with a micrometer adjustment on the pressure lever. Made by Seitz.

Any info on the application for this tool is appreciated. Pictures attatched.

Thank you Tom

This one is for seating friction-fit jewels.

That guy just gave it to you? Can i meet him?

Thessler,

The tool is used to remove and install friction jewels. Mark has a great video on Youtube (Watch Repair Channel) showing how to replace friction jewels with a similar tool. The set you have is a very nice one.

Oh thessler, it is missing SIX no, ELEVEN parts on that set! Give it back...as a matter of fact, give me the guys address and the set and I'll tell him a couple of things...THE NERVE, giving away an incomplete set! Hum!!!

Ok, I had my joke and now for the real thing....that jeweling set, is worth probably more than the L&R watch cleaner you picked up (considering all the "tools" included and the great shape it is in)...so enjoy! If you need some more "parts" for it, cousinsUK and ofrei have them in stock.

Cheers,

Bob

PS. Check the size of the tools before ordering replacements, since I believe the black Seitz is before they changed to, what was it, 4mm? Please, correct me about this, someone!!

Bob is correct if you have a older set and I don't know how to define older in age. The older sets the base pieces are 3 mm and the newer sets are 4 mm. Then everything else in the set as far as I know has always been whatever size it is it's only the base pieces you have to be concerned about.

I'm sure if needed you could turn them down to 3mm easily enough. 

Great looking set, enjoy.

As JohnR725 says it's only the size of the base pieces that has changed and it looks like you already have most, if not all of those, so unless you lose or damage any of them you don't have to worry.
