K & D 600 Staking Tool set Questions


Gary

Recommended Posts

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!

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
