Any demand for a watch tools drop?

more_vert
There seem to be a lot of people here who diddle with their watches at least to the extent of changing straps. In the case of bracelets, this can be exacting work, especially with the microscopic pin sleeves on some Orient bracelets. Although you can generally fit yourself out for $15 on Amazon with basic tools and jigs, and straps come with a tool much of the time, it occurred to me that fetishists of mechanical watches might also be ripe for fetish-level watchmaker's tools, such as Bergeon-type stuff. Maybe a distributor could be conviced to put a package together for strap-changer-level watch fans, screwdrivers, pin pushers, loupes and magnifiers, a digital caliper, parts tray, and so on.

We're looking at you @Vincent.H to look into this. I think the community would respond if MD assembled a Massdrop-made watch toolkit. Although I have such a toolkit already, if MD assembled one with higher quality components, I would certainly consider it.

It would be awesome to see this dropped: https://www.lepsi.ch/watch-scope/ It's bit too rich for my blood, at 369CHF (~392 USD) and given that my mechanical watch collection is at 1. However, given the right price, i'm sure there's serious watch collectors that would totally go for it.
I posted something similar a few months back. At this point I've acquired a set of tools that get the job done, but if Massdrop put together something quality at a reasonable price I'd go in on it.
I've learned the quality of tools out there varies WIDELY depending on where you are ordering from.

That and a dish towel or cloth to put down while working and you're more or less set.
