Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

Do I need special tools to mod a Seiko?

About eight tools total: case knife, hand-removal lever, hand presser (paired with a brass movement holder), tweezers with plastic or wooden tips, 10×–20× loupe, microfiber cloths, rocket blower.

Why do I need a movement holder?

It clamps the movement so it can't shift while you work on it — most critically when pressing hands, which are a firm friction fit and need square, steady pressure. Setting hands against an unsupported movement risks bending a hand or the pinion it presses onto.

Do you sell crystal presses or hand-setting presses?

No — we stock the three tools on this page and stop there. For a crystal press or a hand-setting press, buy from a dedicated tool supplier or have a watchmaker do the pressing; a crystal in particular should never be seated without a proper press.

What does the spring bar tool do?

It compresses the spring bars that hold a strap or bracelet between the lugs, so you can swap straps without scratching the case. It works on any watch that uses standard spring bars — which is every Lucius Atelier case with lugs — and the spare tips keep it working after the inevitable slip.

High quality spring bar at affordable price.

When I first received it I was initially disappointed. The tool looks exactly like the cheap spring bar tool that I got from China for much less. But then I started to handle it and I can tell the actual difference. The grooves of the handle and the heads are much deeper, making it easier to grip and change the pins with little effort. In comparison, I had to use an extra plier for Cheap China to get the pins to dislodge.

What is more important is that the fine tip fork end is definitely well made. I loss count how many fork tips I broken trying to change straps on my watches. But the notch on the fine tip fork end on this one is noticeably deeper, so I am not worried about it breaking off.

The only imperfection is that one of the fork tips that comes with it is slightly bent when it arrived. Doesn't affect functionality, though. And Adriel has graciously included extra replacements heads as well.

Thanks, Lucius Atelier!

Hey Rahman! Thank you so much for your comprehensive review and feedback. So glad it is working well for you. The large fork end is actually very useful for rubber and leather straps. Its edge has been sharpen so that it can lodge itself into the groove of the spring bar with ease. Additionally, I have taken your suggestion and have improve on packaging to prevent any damage to the pins during shipping. Now it will be less likely to get damaged during shipping. Thanks again!
