For a newbie, what in the world is this used for?? :huh:
It's a tool kit used for fitting and removing bushes and jewels from watches or clocks. It has some other uses but that is the primary function.
The set above is a very nice example.

Cool, i have seen these around ebay when scavenging around for vintage tools but had no clue it was even related to watchmaking. Makes more sense now.

Lovely set JD.  Is it all complete?

I think it is almost complete. I looked at the Seitz manual and compared it and found that some pieces were just in the wrong place, like those collets on the bottom left. There are only a few open holes. I really wanted the pivot straightening device as they are usually 300 bucks alone. I already have the lower seitz kit and a jeweled ruler and the plate holding device. So the plan is to put all the parts in the right place, determine the gaps and if I really need to fill them. And then sell the individual items I currently have. It should arrive Monday.

I managed to pick up pretty much all that you have there JD, only not as a dedicated set.  I really do like boxed sets of tools like that. 

I have duplicates of almost all except the pivot straightening device which typically goes for around 300 on eBay and 450 new.

      1947 NOS Ambassador 'C'. Actually, the case came without the movement so the movement isn't NOS, but she sure is pretty.

      one of the problems we have is visible versus invisible. For instance millennium disulfide another high pressure lubricant black in color. I was told by somebody worked for the Boeing company that they had a piston like device somewhere that has eight call it around it to grab it so it has to slide and in the collet has to grab. But if somebody puts that type of dry grease on where grease with that in it it embeds itself basically in the metal and they have to throw the whole part away they get use it all. So I suspect on all the dry powdery lubricants that they will go into all the basically microscopic cracks and crannies of the metaland that's where it is visually at least until you scrub it off your visually going to see it which is good because you want your lubrication the stay word is. But I'm sure it doesn't last forever on the metal it's just a really nice lubrication
