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 removed the stem and open the case. The Movement can't drop out but it can be rotate Anyone has idea THANK YOU
    • Not a family member, and yes, it no way near as good, as some information got lost from original site and some information got incorrectly copied. The original site is available as iOS app here: https://apps.apple.com/fi/app/ranfft-watch-movements-archive/id6502008939
    • Outstanding, Marc! Your information is really helpful and clears this up, especially given that yours were purchased as sets. Thanks, man. So, it appears I jumped the gun on this one, but I am relieved. I will say, though, that all of my reamers and concave pushers are number-stamped and appear to be of better quality.  Also, the bayonets on my pushers are actually the same color as the steel.  The next thing to do is restore the heads of these pushers with some polishing paper.  Alex at the Watch Repair channel has a nice little video on this.   I appreciate your help!

    • Just installed it on my iPhone (my only iOS device) and it appears to be intact and functional. I may have to go out and buy myself an ipad just for this app.
    • I have two Seitz sets, one ancient (with the 3mm anvils) and one just old (with 4mm anvils) plus a collection of spare pushers of assorted vintage. Not one of them is marked with it's size. Something which I have found very irritating when I have been using the tool and not returning pushers to their correct place in the tray every time as it means that I have to get the calipers out and measure them. These were bought as sets and collectively I have over 100 pushers so it would seem highly unlikely (if not inconceivable) that they are all cheap knock offs, especially as they are old enough to pre-date the prevalence of the Chinese knock off industry (at least as applied to watch making tools). I therefore believe them to be original Seitz parts. And there is no numbering. The shape of the bottom of the pump pushers is the same as your photo. The only thing that may not be the same is that the slotted insert (looks like a screw but is in fact a bayonet) should be brass. Yours looks the same colour as the steel but that could just be the lighting.
