China Make Watch Hand Removal Tool Set

Product Description

This is a China‑made professional watch hand removal tool set, featuring 5 pairs (10 pieces) of differently shaped and sized jaws, color‑coded for quick identification. It is suitable for removing hour, minute, seconds, and chronograph hands from various mechanical and quartz watches. The set is available in two versions: high arc (Set A) and low arc (Set B), designed for different dial curvatures and hand mounting heights.

Features & Function

5 color‑coded pairs: Each color corresponds to specific hand types and movements for quick identification and preventing misuse.

Red: For removing central chronograph seconds hands (suits ETA 7750, Omega 3313/4130, etc.).
Blue: For removing small hands (sub‑dial hands, 24‑hour hands, calendar hands, etc.).
Yellow: For removing ladies‘ watch hands (suits ETA 2000, Rolex 2235, ETA 2671, etc.).
Green: For removing men’s watch hands (suits ETA 2892, Rolex 3135, Omega 8500, etc.).
Purple: For removing ETA 7750/7751 multi‑function hands (chronograph seconds, 30‑minute counter hands, etc.).

High arc (Set A) vs. Low arc (Set B) options:

Set A (High arc): Jaws have a larger curvature, suitable for domed dials or movements where hands sit higher.
Set B (Low arc): Jaws have a smaller curvature, suitable for flat dials or ultra‑thin movements where hands sit lower.

Precision machining: Jaws are made of hardened alloy steel with finely polished tips, allowing easy insertion between hands without scratching the hands or dial.

Spring‑assisted: Each tool has an internal spring that automatically opens the jaws when pressed, providing controlled force and reducing fatigue.

Ergonomic handles: Non‑slip plastic or rubber‑coated handles for comfortable, extended use.

FAQ

Q1: Can this set remove hands from all watches?
A: It covers most common calibers (ETA, Rolex, Omega, Seiko, etc.). For extremely tiny movements (e.g., ultra‑thin ladies‘ quartz), additional smaller tools may be needed. The yellow tool is already optimized for small hands.

Q2: Is the red tool only for 7750?
A: The red tool is designed for central chronograph seconds hands. It also works on Omega 3313/4130, Breitling B01, IWC 79350, and other chronograph calibers. However, slight variations in hand tube sizes may exist – test on a scrap movement first.

Q3: How to choose between high arc (Set A) and low arc (Set B)?
A: High arc is for watches with noticeably domed dials (vintage or double‑curved crystals) or where hands sit higher (e.g., watches with cyclops). Low arc is for flat dials or ultra‑thin watches. If unsure, start with Set B (low arc) – it can handle moderate curvature, while high‑arc tools may feel unstable on flat dials.

Q4: Will the tool scratch the hands?
A: Quality tools minimise scratching, but it is still advisable to place a thin plastic film (e.g., cling wrap) between the tool and the hand, or apply Teflon tape to the jaw tips. Also, keep the tool vertical during operation to avoid lateral sliding.

Q5: What is the difference between the purple and red tools?
A: The red tool is for the central chronograph seconds hand (thicker tube, approx. 0.25‑0.30mm). The purple tool is for the smaller sub‑dial hands of ETA 7750/7751 (30‑minute and 12‑hour counters) – these hands have smaller diameters, and the purple tool has finer tips accordingly.

Q6: How to fix blunt tips after prolonged use?
A: Lightly rub the tips with 2000‑grit sandpaper or a fine stone to restore flatness. Do not over‑grind, which may alter the original shape. If the tip is bent or broken, replace the tool.
