Hello!  Does anybody have this tool?  This is mine.  If you have one, does it look complete?  How do you use it.  (I have the instruction sheet but it's hard to read!)  thanks!

Here you are a video by our good friend J D Richard.

Thanks!  I saw it.  In fact, it's what  reminded me that I had the tool.  Mine is more complete and, at his request, I have sent the photo in this post to J. D. Richard.  My main question is whether I have the complete tool, or is it missing any parts.  My tool is more complete than J. D.s.  I talked with my former watch instrutor, who also has one, and he says mine is complete.  Still, I'd be interested in a demo of its use.

      EMG Crown DL63

      By ColdWind · Posted

      This is a modern watch, the crown is definitely made from solid 316l steel. You must have heated the crown to some 200C caused the surface colour to change to light yellow. It's similiar to steel tempering. Yes it is the chromium oxide that forms during the heating that gives rise to the colours you see as you know stainless steel contains chromium. The fact the crown is SS lead me to a question, you've never heard of the alum method? Because alum would work perfectly in this case, instead of drilling, which, there is always a risk of damaging the crown, I would just let the crown chilling in some warm alum solution for 1-2 days and the job is done.   Sure can but the thing is the crown is not just mirror finishing, the lock symbol is polish while its background is some sand-blasted finishing so it would be hard to replicate that. You can buff it all shiny but losing the sand-blasted finishing means it won't look exactly like before.   Gasket is always tricky to me. I would try to use some gasket that look closest to the broken one in term of thickness and diameter, and check if the replacement gasket fit with some friction to the case tube. Lastly you can still use alum at this point.
