Got a set of watch tools in the mail, thanks to my lovely wife. A nice assortment of tools including:
A pin remover, which is great for resizing most metal bracelets. It is easy to use and works well.
A hammer with nylon tip. Used to put pins back into place
Jeweler’s screwdrivers. Handy for many reasons.
A springbar tool. Makes removing bracelets and bands a breeze.
A caseback opener. Now, I don’t need to stop at a jeweler or Wallyworld to change a battery. It is used for screw on casebacks.
A case knife. Opens cases that snap on.
A nylon band holder. For knocking out pins.
So, all in all, the basic tools for resizing bracelets and changing out batteries and bands. If you have a small watch collection, especially if it is quartz, the tools will pay for themselves in no time at all. If you like to swap out bands a lot, it is really necessary.
Also, in more important news, I am getting a watch in the mail today. Yes another one. I what has become a tradition, I picked out several watches and let Tiffany pick one out in secret so what I am getting is a mystery. I shall see what it is this evening. All I know is that is probably an Orient and an Automatic.
