I'm Zozzle. I'm an apprentice watchmaker here in America. I'm gonna try to leave everything vague about myself and my shop. We can restore anything from TImex battery changes to restoring Patek grand complications that have been water damaged and then hit with a hammer.

My mentor can answer and fix anything given to him. At some point I will be able to do the same. Let me see if I can share some of my knowledge.

I don't believe this is quite the way you should introduce yourself. There are people here who are masters and people who are just beginning to learn.

All are welcomed here whatever there skill level. All are treated the same.  You well may be able to teach us a thing or two, however you should disseminate your knowledge by answering questions posed by members asking for help. . You will soon be looked to for advice, if your good.

How about letting us decide on our own if we can learn from you.

Welcome to this friendly Forum where we respect every one & there level of skills.

Welcome to the forum, it's great to see young guys starting out in their horology career - I wish you all the very best in your training. It's all about sharing knowledge and so you seem to have the right idea.

Incidentally, and don't be offended by this ... would you like me to change your username to something less... childish, if so please fire me a PM? :)

the term zozzle has quite an interesting usage on the internet and reaction to it does not seem positive.  

which appears to be the impetus for the posting in the first place.

I have looked urbandictionary.com and it reports:

1. characterized by uprightness or morality: a righteous observance of the law.
2. morally right or justifiable: righteous indignation.
3. acting in an upright, moral way; virtuous: a righteous and godly person.

I have not idea if that's correct.

The original thread title was 'eyo'

Looks like that was interpreted to us old folk as 'hey you' - I changed it to a more polite 'hello' ;)

Okay uh.. let me rephrase everything. 

This is the first "serious" watch forum I've been too. I'm surprised there are so many watchmakers here. 

I know quite a lot, but I will spend my entire life learning. Hopefully I can pick up some knowledge here.

      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

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      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.

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Marc · Posted

      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.
