Hi Everyone!

 

I’m looking at a K & D 600 Staking der and was wondering if I could also use it to replace some jewels in a few watches I have? Not sure that it will multi function? It is missing a few pieces probably about 15 to be exact.

I have a few watches that need broken jewels removed and replaced.

 

As always thank you for your time!!!

Best,

Gary

Staking is usually separate than jeweling. The forces and precision needed are very different in each.

Having said that, both sets come with adapters to cross over work. I believe the 600 may not have the micrometer needed for jeweling.

You would have to figure out what size jewels you need to replace to figure out if the pushers in the set are there or missing.

If you have several movements that need jewel replacement and plan to do more such work in the future I highly recommend the Horia tool.

What would work great is to make sure you're buying 4mm staking set so that you can buy the plain 4mm Horia and use the K&D pushers and anvils.

Cheers!

Thank you! I wasn’t sure if all the differences but thought I may be better served by a jeweling tool.
Thanks again,
Gary

Sure thing!

If not going the Horia route, then the Favorite is great followed by the Seitz.

Good luck!

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      By swiss2k · Posted

      No matter what I did, I could not get the amplitude more than 240 deg. At least there is 0.2 beat error and minus 1-2 s/d.  So, probably not the happy end I would have hoped for, but still I think the watch turned out quite nice. You be the judge of that. Thank you everyone for your help!

      its used to lengthen or shorten the suspension spring from the front f the clock dial, this in turn will give regulation to the clock. Try inserting a pocket watch key or even better the double ended key for the clock into the small aperture on the dial at the top and turning it, you will see the suspension block either raise or lower. If it raises the clock will run faster if it lowers the clock will run slower

      Grateful for info regarding the nature & function of the horizontal cog and the unit it's on top of in the picture. It meshes with a vertical cog (enclosed in the unit) on the arbour which is supported at its other end by the back plate of the dial unit to which it is not quite perpendicular...

      Second hand watch market.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Hello good watch folk ,I  just fancied a light hearted discussion after my head was starting to spin over Epilame 😅. Specifically I'm meaning the sale of vintage watches, say nothing past the 1980s market. The stuff we see on ebay and other similar sites and found at carboots, curio shops etc. And are  we thinking its reaching a peak volume ?  Younger generations clearing out passed parents and grandparents possessions.  The younger folk are not as sentimental as the old fogies ( I'm now nearly at an age that i used to think was old fogie age ). When might it have started ?  i often wish i discovered the hobby much much sooner when selling your grandfathers pocket watch at a boot sale for a few quid was just a way to offload some tat. And when might it slow down. Thoughts anyone ?
