Customer Reviews

Needs instruction sheet
I broke a watch crystal the first time I used the press. I sent a message to the seller asking for instructions and still haven't heard from them. I may yet; but for now the press sits unused. If I hear from Tech-scale, I'll let everyone know.

The dies are great the press is cheap
Now, I have used this before and the thing is that many watches are easy to open but are very difficult to close. In comes the watch press.
The plastic storage box mine came in was broken and I threw it out. The press it self is cheap and I do not think it will last long, the dies on the other hand are metal and I will have them a very long time. So the focus of my purchase should have been on the press it self and not the dies.
Any ways it gets the job done. One broken crystal would cost much more than this whole purchase.
So if you would allow me to help with the instructions since they will not be included.
1) Choose a die that covers the crystal, protecting it and putting the pressure on the lugs.
2) Choose a die that covers the watch backing up to the point were it curves inward
3) Screw the fist die into the lower part of the press with the desired side upwards
4) Screw the second die into the upper press with the desired side downwards
5) Place the watch face down into the protective die, so that the crystal is immerged into the die.
6) Place the watch backing onto the watch taking care that steam grove is in the correct place ( aliened with the steam )
7) Start putting pressure on the press buy squeezing the handles with one hand as you hold the watch steady with the other.
8) If you have the crystal protected correctly and the proper die pressing on the back of the watch than you should hear a click. A scary click, is it the crystal cracking or the steam snapping? The sound of the watch clicking closed.
Hope that these poorly written instructions help.
Good luck to all.

Technically "As Advertised," but beware!
Yes, the wooden box contains what I suppose is a "watch case closing press with 11 brass dies." Period.

Instructions certainly would have been helpful!

The description doesn't specifically mention paperwork, instructions, photos, a printed guide, or anything else...and you certainly won't get them! As a result, I'm not sure of how to assemble the pieces and use this thing.

You'll be completely on your own when it comes to using this item, unless you can decipher something from the box cover (pictured above). Perhaps you'll be able to interpret the Asian characters printed thereon. I certainly wasn't.

The item I received is *not* the blue device pictured above with the characters and arrows on the side, but a rather plain gray tool that looks kind of like a knock-off.

The $8.89 "Shipping & Handling" charge was exorbitant. Techscale spent less than $5 in postage to mail the flimsy, USPS-supplied paper envelope containing this item. It contained no packing slip, no info on how to return it, no contact info, etc., etc.

Yes, the item *IS* as described, but the overall transaction was somewhat disappointing. Perhaps eventually I'll be able to put it to use!
