My latest acquisition

As a point of interest. You should find that modern pushers etc, as sold by Cousins here in the UK, fit your jewelling tool. They do mine.

Nice. I have the same set. It is complete, but I'm sure that I paid a bit more than that. Probably $75 or so. I purchased it at an NAWCC Mart quite a few years ago. Sadly, I still haven't done jobs that force me to learn how to use it properly. Enjoy.
 
LOL ..Yes I wonder how much I will actually use it ...I have a pivoted I am sure I will never use

Looks a great piece of kit Tony.  Now you can install new staffs onto balance wheels.   Ive a pile of watches each tagged "need balance complete".  must invest in one of those tools myself.

This is for replacing/installing jewels, not staffs, that would be a staking set.

I got it off craigslist.. Funny thing is it was off a mechanical engineer.. I also purchased the staking set from an engineer paid $120 both sets are in mint condition. Coming from mechanical engineers they were obviously treated with the respect tools deserve.

    • I have it, so until we get a lunch one day , nearly everyday is with my mum at the moment.
    • In the meantime whilst awaiting a better plan, please drop me a quick hello on my email. 
    • I looked at it like this, I've built a lot of stuff in my time, building structures and furniture,those are my creations and they will still be here way way after I'm gone. Traditional watchmakers felt the need to pass their knowledge on, ideas that they created . I assume with them as it is with me, leaving their mark on the earth, a way of being remembered. This creation of Mark's has brought thousands of people together to pass their knowledge around,  ideas that will continue to be used for lifetimes. Ideas that should continue to be procured. If for whatever reason the forum ceased to exist, not quite like Ranfft's, that didn't disappear but much less usable. Then that is sad, such a massive loss of communication between good people and a wealth of knowledge lost. There should be something in place for when that happens which could be next week, next year or in 10 years. Might not be a topical subject for a lot of folk or boardering on controversy, i did say i talk about stuff other people dont. But if you dont talk about it and something happens then you've lost it and you ain't gonna fix it .
    • I've remained silent on this thread, and at the risk of upsetting everyone, the thing that worries me the most the the apparent absence of Mark. The moderators do a great job and the members also pitch in, and the site seems to run itself, but it is a concern for the future of this forum when the owner is absent for all intents and purposes. Like many of the comments above I would hate to log in one day and things be closed down as I rely on this site for ideas and knowledge and also cheer me up. maybe the Moderators could reach out to him, assuming he does not read this thread, and express our concerns and let us know the plans going forward? some kind of WRT ark
    • That was the exact reason for me starting this thread watchie. Still we haven't worked out how the regulars are going to hook up if it goes tits up. I honestly think something should be arranged to stay in contact, we all help each other so much.
