I have never come across this make and I suspect most members on this forum are the same. Personally unless you are anticipating servicing a lot of Breitling watches then it is a big outlay. I purchased a similar tool for Rolex watches and it did not work and slipped under pressure. In my opinion it would be better to purchase a horotec case removing tool and just purchase the dies as and when you need them. I purchased this tool and have just added as and when needed. Some of the dies I have only used once.

Just recently got supplied with a simular if not identical breitling kit from my company, not sure how much it cost, i doubt it was that exepensive. I haven't had the chance to use them, however I have been told the kit is not sufficient to open all breitlings, some of the dies wont properly fit some models.

Thanks for your replies
How does the Swiss style case opener compare with the Horotec?
Do the Horotec Breitling dies fit the Swiss style ?

Generally all dies are made for the Bergeon type. You can find the same Chinese tools for cheaper on aliexpress. They work pretty good.

I am no IT expert but some here are. Normally a triangle is showing that it is a unrecognised file or file format i.e. you should use jpeg images. Is the Samsung a mobile some here will know how to use.

 

This conversation is drifting into an area of chat so any conversation re PC, s etc should be in the "Chat section"

How do the Horotec and the Bergeon 5700 compare?

For one, the horotec in the picture above holds the case with the four plastic posts, but the bergeon require to remove the bracelet to hold in the lugs.
There is an entire thread dedicated to value case openers that you can read. My Chinese one works fine. They also copy horotec of many types.

      I'm going to be setting up a decent little workshop here at home.

      By Michael1962 · Posted

      Well I put the spa on Gumtree (selling service) to try and sell it as it only needs a recirc pump to get it going. However, it weighs circa 250kg, so there's 4 fairly strong guys, and I would have to remove the sliding door in the room completely to be able to get it out, as well as clearing out a multitude of potted plants and the Alfresco outdoor setting to be able to get it out. Then move nearly everything in the back of the garage to be able to push it through to the front of the house. I would also need to hire furniture skates to be able to shift it around as carrying it is out of the question. Then someone would need a trailer to get it to their place as you won't get it on the back of a ute. So, the only answer is, out with the reciprocating saw and cut it all up into manageable pieces. Crying shame as it is in really good nick. I was only asking $1,500 and only got two bites, but it would only take something to go wrong with removing the sliding door etc that everything I make on the sale could go out the door on repairs etc. It would have been nice to be able to turn it into tools etc, but que sera sera. I don't know about the rest of the world, but there just seems to be very little interest from people wanting to buy things secondhand.

      I would like to see the movement. The watch is the movement. Anyone can print a name on a dial and sell it as "the maker".

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Thanks for your answers! There seems to be a contradiction between these two answers, so perhaps I need to clarify. The flat and convex jewels look identical on the side facing away from the pivot shoulder. That is, there is an oil reservoir. I don't know if that changes anything but I thought it was safest to clarify since I didn't include a picture of the jewels from the opposite side.

      unfortunately paying attention to details bumps up the cost. Which is why they shortchange on manufacturing steps if they can.

      Introduction

      By oldhippy · Posted

      Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  When it comes to tools buy the best you can afford a good set of watch makers screwdrivers if you look after them will last you a life time. I recommend Dumont tweezers Number 3 and number 5 for fine work, you can build up from there. You will need different strength eye glasses. Some now like to work using a microscope. Pliers the box jointed ones are best they don't go out of line.
