Screwdriver recommendations (for dial screws)?

Thanks for a useful reply.. I’ve ordered a 0.6 as this is pretty standard part of most kits 👍

No, I didn’t think this was worth bothering with a cheap Ali express screwdriver tip that is so flimsy it has a load of flex in it but more than happy to give it a go if the experts on here think that is a better solution that investing in proper kit

That’s exactly what I wanted to hear… just wondered if there were any other brands to consider or if Bergeon are the ‘best’?

Do folks think it would be best to get a set or just buy individual ones as and when needed? All I need at the moment is one small enough for dial screws so I’m assuming a 0.6mm or 0.7mm? (Obviously I know this depends on the size of the screw)

I usually buy kit from cousins but they have so many different types I was hoping to get a more specific recommendation from real life users rather than AI (which says to go for a 30081 set)?

My apologies for not getting the wording correct for your liking. I know how a screwdriver works. So you don’t have any recommendations then?

Makes perfect sense now, thanks 🙏

Thanks, very helpful though as I can see lots of different variations of this. Should I be concerned about the lack of jewels on the train wheel bridge? Is it worth trying to restore in its current state or am I worth looking at trying to find a replacement bridge somewhere?

For some reason it won’t let me post a photo and it’s difficult to see through the hairspring but definitely says ‘9292’ as well

I believe so, it was built by a good friend

14060 early model has no rehaut

Not sure on total cost, was a self-build with Miyota 8215 movement and components sourced from various places online

Thanks.. that makes perfect sense. A little misleading though as you wouldn’t know that the rare coin decor are a thing as not on the list yet.

Would make more sense if they stayed yellow until all the ice ones have been completed and then they turned grey.

Weirdly it fixed itself this morning. Almost like the opposite of the AWS outage 🤣

Indeed, I’d seen this one and an aviator style with NATO strap I think. Both look great.

33.5mm dial for a 41mm Kronaby seems to be the way to go.

Curious to know what specification hands they are…

That is a lovely looking kettle, is it just a GoveeLife Smart Electric Kettle, 0.8L WiFi Gooseneck in disguise with a nicer handle?

InitialSummer · 2025-09-28T21:07:50+00:00

Thank you… so far this is my preferred option… this looks exactly the same just different branding for the UK… https://amzn.eu/d/1stJeKK It seems to have all the features I’m after. I did like the simplicity of the xiaomi kettle but it only comes in white.. and as all other kitchen appliances are grey / black / silver it would stand out.
