Wiz 0 Posted March 16, 2011 I received some interesting things today. Well, at least interesting for me! First is some lume from Tritec. Chrono 7750 movement holder. And finally a hand remover: some Horotec levers with fine tips. These babies are amazing, I'm never using a presto hands remover again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeNnY 29 Posted March 17, 2011 Ah then you are my translating master - Wiz, about that lume you purchased, can you compare it to w@tchlume stuff ? But I see you ordered the green version. I really looking forward for your new mods Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akira 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Wiz great job Do you use Rodico to press the hands on the dial before removing them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiz 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Wiz great job Do you use Rodico to press the hands on the dial before removing them? Are you asking if I use rodico to hold the hand while pressing it with a hand setter? If so, no, I use the tweezers with highly polished tips. It's much more precise and the polished tips don't mark the hands. But you can use rodico, no worries. Here are my hand setters: Ah then you are my translating master - Wiz, about that lume you purchased, can you compare it to w@tchlume stuff ? But I see you ordered the green version.

Wiz 0 Posted March 17, 2011 I mean at this point: Cheers Akira Ohhhhhh, ok No, I don't press the hands on the dial, this is just to avoid the hands from "jumping" everywhere when you remove them. Because if one fells off on an unprotected part of the dial it could potentially make a tiny scratch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you wiz, if I will have any questions I will ask you BTW what is the price for highly polished tweezers ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiz 0 Posted March 17, 2011 BTW what is the price for highly polished tweezers ??? Freaking expensive... That's why I've bought regular 2A tweezers and took care of the polishing. I first tried a simple polishing, but I realized the surface of the tips was uneven, so I went with 400/600/1000 sandpaper, and then with green/white/blue Dialux for the polishing part.

Wiz 0 Posted March 17, 2011 great pick-ups wiz. Is it just me are you like me? Everything is always neat and tidy in your pics Dust is the ennemy! You can't do any proper watchwork without being a I vaccum the room where the bench is before every session, then I let the dust in the air fall off for a few hours, then I clean again with a dust cloth, then I clean the benchtop with a sponge, and when it's dry I start working. It would be way more easy if I could find a way to over-pressure the room Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
