Its not the sort of tool one would use or need if you are a beginner or new to watch repairing/making. If all the parts are there, all is in good condition and the price is right for you then I would buy it. The more watch work and the more you progress you sure will need one.

I think it's an essential tool, I use it more than a staking tool (also essential). Whether it's worth it depends on the price and which maker and which set- and how complete it actually is. Any pics or details?

You can do a lot more than just re-jewelling with a jewelling set. It's a bit like buying a lathe.

Closing hand collets, adjusting end-shakes, reaming/broaching upright holes, flattening dents in dials and hands, peening hands to form a curve, closing hole sizes, etc.

There are some fancy accessories that you also get with the larger set detailed in the manual here:

I did not get it missed out, it was the same brand but not as comprehensive as this one,
