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.

    • Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?    
    • Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank     
    • It was £10 + min fee, total £16, could not leave it there. Its a Stanton A.D.2. http://stanton-instruments.co.uk/
    • Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes. 
    • So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray
