The top tool in the first one is a depth gauge but I haven't used one yet. The second one escapes me...looks like something I would like to use on my mother in law... at the throat?! :) But it could be something to check for balancing and trueing?

I would go with

Watch Depthing tool which is used to work out the correct distance from a wheel to a pinion and then to transfer this measurement to the plate for drilling the pivot holes.

Plyer shaped Poising Calipers as rodabod has stated for checking the true of a balance wheel

 

The last tool I thought was for removing cannon pinions, but my book tells me its for removing rollers, but I guess it would work for hands and cannon pinions too.

Depthing tool and truing pliers pictures are from 'Watch and Clockmakers Handbook Dictionary and Guide by Britten, other is from Watch and Clock Making and Repairing by W J Gazeley, both very useful books for identifiying tools and how to use them.

    • I have the perfect solution for this, i just dont invite anyone round.
    • @rossjackson01 it's only getting harder and harder to get 'cheap' watches to work on, I have done some reading and depending on the source the prices of vintage watches is increasing somewhere between 10% and 50% a year. The only way I have found to get watches to lay the 404 game with is to buy a bulk lot say 10 with an average price of < £4.04 but even that is getting harder and harder, hence the re-boot. I see that £6.99 is looking like a popular choice - but I ask the members, is £6.99 realistic, can you actually find watches to work on for £6.99 - maybe its better to cut to the chase and jump to £10.10 for example and allow more people to play? Jut a thought.
    • Here's a little more to add from an old book that contains articles from Emil Borer once head of Rolex's technical department and designer of their movements at Rolex's factory ( which apparently they had but not really until the early 2000s )  so i guess the mislead publisher meant Eagler's factory 😅
    • I really like the idea of the 404. However I've yet to be able to manage to obtain any watch for that little. I do have some free quartz ones. I'm not that skilled. Mechanical for me.  I have managed to obtain a number of watches for under £40.   What about an extra 40 club. $, £ etc. I could at least participate.
    • That sounds like the running distance of a horse I bet on 2 years ago, I'm still waiting for the phone call to let me know its crossed the finish line.  Elegantly put Ross and yes we do .
