Finger Cots

Hi

Just wondering if anyone here has ever bought the A*F finger cots from Cousins? I've tried various other cheap ones before, but they are usually too tight. The A*F ones come in S,M,L & XL, but it doesn't say what these sizes equate to. I'm interested in getting some, so if anybody can advise on the size of these it would be helpful. Thanks

I bought  medium and they work  for my long fairly thin fingers . Size 10-10,5 in normal gloves. But sometimes a large could work better at least for my thumb. The latex finger cots are stretchier then most other cots i tried? 

I stick with medium next time as it is a little work to have to sizes around. Usually only have a finger cots on my index finger when i work on the movement .

Thanks for the responses, much appreciated. Interesting that you say they are stretchier than others, could be what I need. What is the diameter on the medium ones, before putting on and stretching? The ones I have at the moment are about 2cm and I find them too tight, particularly on the thumbs.

Rather than throw them out Stephen, use them and cut the thick rubber ring with a pair of scissors when fitted.  This greatly reduces the pressure and will at least allow you to use them.  This is exactly what Inam doing just now to work my way though some tight ones.

    • @Murks the problem you have mate is most watch cases out there to buy are for Seiko NH3X, ETA 2824 and maybe Myota 8XXX movements, oh also the big ETA 6978/9 movements which the dials start around 28.5mm. You might find one on a Google search but I suspect your main chance will be buying cheap quartz ladies watches and hopefully find one of the right size and condition that is acceptable. 😞   Tom
    • The anchor pin should be perpendicular when the anchor is sat on a flat surface and if you post a close up picture of the backplate I will be able to tell you the correct torsion spring , running fast or slow is usually wrong Torsion spring. Here is a video from my YouTube channel showing how I set the beat  
    • I think if you want to play Billy big b.ollocks then you have to have something up your sleeve, anyone that knows how to fight, plays dirty. Lets face it a lot of folk that voted for Brexit just rolled uk their sleeves to say up yours EU hoping for good changes. We have idiots for leaders and probably none of them clever enough to clean the shitty stick they were given. I didnt vote, what will be will be. You've signed up to another forum !!! Why you defector , you snake in the grass, you infidel consider yourself shunned.... you.......you........you CAD  😅😅😅😅😅😅🤪
    • I voted leave too, my reasoning was the the EU is undemocratic, no elected officials. I don't regret it but I  am sad that both sides acted like petulant toddlers.  Shameful.  I'm not on other forums but if I was and left this site, would you shun me? Of course not, we aren't petulant toddlers.  
    • This is a type of tool that may be suitable to remove the bezel - though note that I'm pretty sure the watch should be face down - not face up, as in some of the photos of these tools on amazon & ebay! If you try one one of those, put the movement screws back in first to avoid accidents. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Removal-Professional-Remover-Watchmaker-Diameter/dp/B09XCH4QVN?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=A296NCMMFVXSDN&th=1
