FAQ
Does this tool scratch the movement?
No, the contact points are designed with smooth edges to grip the movement plates securely. As long as you do not over-tighten the screw, the holder will support the caliber without leaving marks or scratches on the metal during your repair work.
Can I use this for cleaning and oiling?
Yes, these holders are excellent for holding the mainplate while you clean or oil specific jewels and pivots. The alloy construction is resistant to most standard watchmaking lubricants and cleaning solutions used at the bench.
Are both holders the same size?
The set includes two different sizes to ensure you can work on everything from small ladies' watches to large men's chronographs. This versatility makes the set a better value than buying individual holders for specific calibers.
Is it heavy enough to stay still?
The weighted alloy construction provides enough mass to stay in place on your bench mat. It stays stationary while you apply the light pressure required for installing hands, removing screws, or adjusting the hairspring.
