Cousins was out of stock of the number 6 Bergeon main spring winder before Christmas, but had it marked as being back in stock on the 4th of January.

I saw it was in stock yesterday and went to order it today and its out of stock again until March 4th........ GRRRRRR

Guess I wasn't the only person waiting for it to come back into stock.

Any other supplier anyone can recommend to buy it from?

Thanks for the link, I've book marked it, although it seems esslinger only sells the Bergeon winders based on calibre, not sizes so I'm not sure which one to get.

I think I will end up just waiting until Cousins gets some more in stock.

If you're not bothered about buying Bergeon and new, there's an EBay UK seller listing a 2,3,4,6 & 8 with handle for less than £35, although I obviously don't know if they would send overseas. If (and it's a big if) they are in good condition they would probably be as good as Bergeon, as they probably are made in the same place as them. I'm of the opinion Bergeon don't actually make anything, just put their badge on bought in stuff and double the price ;).

      Not a family member, and yes, it no way near as good, as some information got lost from original site and some information got incorrectly copied. The original site is available as iOS app here: https://apps.apple.com/fi/app/ranfft-watch-movements-archive/id6502008939

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Outstanding, Marc! Your information is really helpful and clears this up, especially given that yours were purchased as sets. Thanks, man. So, it appears I jumped the gun on this one, but I am relieved. I will say, though, that all of my reamers and concave pushers are number-stamped and appear to be of better quality.  Also, the bayonets on my pushers are actually the same color as the steel.  The next thing to do is restore the heads of these pushers with some polishing paper.  Alex at the Watch Repair channel has a nice little video on this.   I appreciate your help!

      Just installed it on my iPhone (my only iOS device) and it appears to be intact and functional. I may have to go out and buy myself an ipad just for this app.

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Marc · Posted

      I have two Seitz sets, one ancient (with the 3mm anvils) and one just old (with 4mm anvils) plus a collection of spare pushers of assorted vintage. Not one of them is marked with it's size. Something which I have found very irritating when I have been using the tool and not returning pushers to their correct place in the tray every time as it means that I have to get the calipers out and measure them. These were bought as sets and collectively I have over 100 pushers so it would seem highly unlikely (if not inconceivable) that they are all cheap knock offs, especially as they are old enough to pre-date the prevalence of the Chinese knock off industry (at least as applied to watch making tools). I therefore believe them to be original Seitz parts. And there is no numbering. The shape of the bottom of the pump pushers is the same as your photo. The only thing that may not be the same is that the slotted insert (looks like a screw but is in fact a bayonet) should be brass. Yours looks the same colour as the steel but that could just be the lighting.
