I've had this for many years and have used it successfully with no issues on many watches. But I've only used it mainly for removing glass bezels, opening casebacks and novelty timepieces which were not designed to be open. For revolving bezels, I usually use a caseback knife to pry it off. Chinese tool quality can vary greatly. Some are almost indiscernible from the original Swiss tools and some are just junk. I have many Chinese tools that were junk straight out of the box but after some modifications and finishing, end up better than original Swiss because it's now designed to my specifications. We have another thread somewhere which discuss Chinese tools. Which are good, which are bad and which are junk. Do have a read if you are planning on buying any tools. -
Hi again, I've got a pocket watch in very bad condition, but the movement started again after disassembling / cleaning / reassembling, and it works pretty well for an old caliber. The thing is: I can't identify it. No indication of a name, no logo, only a serial number. I've tried to use Bestfit for the idendification, but without result. The diameter is 35,6mm (dial side) and 35,5mm (back side). Maybe is it one of those calibers made by the farmers in Jura during wintertime? There used to be a tradition for farmers in that eastern part of France to work for watch manufacturers in winter time because they had less work in the fields.

Does anyone have the manual or direct experience with this one? Made by ETA circa 1985. I need to know where to place which probes, especially for functions 3 and 4. Thanks in advance!
