Member X 91 Posted September 8, 2010 Well, deciding to GBOGH I ordered pretty much anything I could ever need for when I pluck up the courage to start playing with watches I hate getting halfway through a job and not having the tool I need! lol It arrived after about 9 weeks - it really was a slow boat! So, here is the pic: Total kit consists of: Tool Kit. t95 ∞ $75.00 Hands remover.#2. t60 ∞ $9.00 Brush t72 ∞ $2.20 Rodico c18 ∞ $5.25 Leather punch- Centre Punch. t81 ∞ $14.00 Cape Cod Cloth c17 ∞ $6.25 Hands Press. t61 ∞ $18.50 Case and Crystal Press. Lever style. t35 ∞ $23.50 Dial Tape c21 ∞ $7.10 Refinishing Pad c22 ∞ $3.00 XLarge Crystal die kit t97 ∞ $8.50 Screwdriver roller sharpener t54 ∞ $4.00 Total postage $42.80 for 2.6kg. I'm very happy with it so far, it all feels quality stuff B) Slight minor issues are my squishy ball has deflated lol and the crystal press column is slightly misaligned with the thread for the bottom die, but it's an Allen bolt holding the head on the colmn so I'll just loosen it off and rotate it a bit Col has said they're selling a different model now so all should be fine! Now I just have to get a cheapy or some parts to work on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P_Diddy 0 Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) fantastic, is there anything else that a budding bodger might need or is this literally the complete kit? how much are the magnify glass that loops around your head like a visor on motorcycle helmet cost? Col does the carriage increase pro rata after you exceed the 2kg weight allowance, or it spikes higher? Cheers Edited September 8, 2010 by P_Diddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P_Diddy 0 Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) I'm seriously tempted to rival Member X at bodging 'budget' reps, did you include any stems in your order? Is this full monty or is there anything else I might want to add to Member X's order? Will make a nice Xmas present if I order it now On a side note Pressure Tester are these availble in dry operation ie a pressure test without the water? PD: place an order and I'll send you a quote.
