How To - Fit A New Pocket Watch Balance Staff

All opinions are my own and based on my own experiences during my time in the trade, with any hope my experience can help those of you starting out.

Tools required

Excellent video! I don't know how you were able to have the roller jewel out of the way and not damaged! Thank you for sharing.

Would love to one day have the skill to be able to do this - a job well done ! Thanks for sharing. Need to get a pile of old watches to practice on and a decent staking set. Any recommendations on staking sets for a hobbyist please ?
