Precision Tweezers
bonneyman:
While watching a gentleman repairing a pocket watch I caught the name on a pair of tweezers he was using. Figured they must be high quality - even under the microscope the tips are as sharp as ever. Found the company website, man they make alot of styles! Figured it would be good reference for anyone requiring precision tweezers.
They make other ultra-fine tools as well.

I've picked up 2 tweezers for my recent re-entry into appreciating watches. After not wearing one for at least 15 years, I dusted off my 2 older watches and re-batteried them after a fellow bicycle (and watch collector) peaked my interest. I wont go into the details of my current "collection", but they now number more than 2 :)
Regardless, there are some very spendy tweezers and some "works very well" alternatives out there. The one caution I would advise this group is to get some plastic tweezers which are VERY affordable for battery replacement and internal watch protection. Its also a great addition to the toolbox for delicate electrical work.

Thanks for sharing! I could have used a pair like some of those a week ago trying to get corroded relay terminals out! I'll have to look through them and pick some out.

I didn't look for prices, but - being they're Swiss made - I'm sure they ain't cheap! But those plastic (Delrin) tipped ones look kinda nice.

Wristwatch revival ?
That's the channel I watch, I mostly wear Casio digitals at work and Timex Quartz analogs for my casual or Christmas...ect watches.
Clearly I'm not an enthusiast considering I just stick to the proven reliable budget stuff, but I enjoy watching him work and I enjoy his enthusiasm .
Plus vintage watches are beautiful and an amazingly intricate delicate thing that are very intriguing.
