Hi!

I am considering getting a Horia jeweling tool but I am not sure if I should choose the version with 3mm or 4 mm pushers. There is also a small difference in price.

I would appreciate any help or advice.

Thank you.

i asked the same in a facebook group and got this answer from mr. Lass  

"3mm is the most common. But the 4mm is the same size as in the Seitz jewel pusher, then you can use those ones if you find a cheap seitz set. The horia pushers is around $1000 for a set."  

if you buy the 4mm. you can use it all by making a kind of bushing...

As I'm a cheapskate I drilled/reamed my 3mm spindle to make a 4mm one, and then made a bushing so I can now use both 3 & 4mm pushers. If you do this though you need to be very careful and accurate - a bore not in line would make the tool useless.

      You could try a soft-solder repair on that

      Another 6105 back in action!

      By tIB · Posted

      So I recently picked up a slim 6105 which had a badly damaged dial (posted in another thread). I couldn't really live with that given I had another dial handy, also in not great condition but with added bonus of having a better lume job and actually being fully attached to the dial plate!  So what to do with that damaged dial - I tend to think they should be in watches. Well...  A 6105 mid case and crystal assembly punt arrived from Italy yesterday, which I've frankened back into a working piece with the dial... Damaged dial now sits behind damaged crystal in an original case, currently powered by 6106 (with a 6106 caseback on to reflect this... I've cleaned up the original crystal up to a point, but kept it fairly beaten to distract me from the dial, my markers and it's not very satisfying lume job - it's not awful but it's glossy which I don't like. Also has a 6139 bezel on it for now because that's all I could find - I couldn't live with it naked and don't mind it tbh, though will keep an eye out as ever.  So yes, here you go - another 6105 (almost!) back to life. I'll also keep my eye out for the correct movement and perhaps a better dial in time. Caseback might prove tricky/expensive. I know Frankens aren't to everyone's taste but I do enjoy getting these back into working form. Better a working/worn watch than a sat in parts draws imo. And the good news here is that, thanks to the repro service crown, this is the only one I have I could actually feel safe to swim in!
