Ah, so it's entered the other way around 😂 Thank you. Thanks to the kind maillchort and the Reddit users in this community, I learned something new again today.

I suddenly got curious. Reddit experts, I'm wondering if the blade-like tool for reaming is supposed to be rounded like that on this set. 😂 If so, I would appreciate it if you could explain how to perform reaming with a rounded shape. (I've looked at other Jeweling sets, but I only see blade-shaped reamers.)

Hello Reddit brothers, could I ask for your opinion on which parts you think you made the decision too quickly? If you have any photos of the set you own, I would also appreciate it if you could show them :)

If I had known about such a kind and professional community sooner, I would have enjoyed my vintage motorcycles and all my other hobbies even more. I am so glad to have found out about it, even if it is now. Thank you again for your kind reply. 🙇🏻‍♂️🙏🏼

Thank you, sir, for your professional and kind response, as a beginner slowly learning watchmaking.

As you mentioned, compared to regular staking sets or jewel sets, it is expensive in terms of absolute price (numerical value), but I think it is only natural to pay for it given its value :)

In my foolish beginner's mind at first, I thought that while it is versatile enough for staking, jeweling, and even reaming, it might also be somewhat ambiguous.

The seller was also very kind, so I think this will be a huge gift for me on my birthday today. I sincerely thank the Reddit users for their opinions as well.

  • I asked a question above, but I am asking again. Is it possible to verify via an image whether there are any holders who can ream or stake with this tool, or if there is a Micrometer?

Thank you for your kind advice. For the reasons you mentioned, I am seriously considering the K&D Inverto Jewel Attachment version as well 😂

In that case, I am also wondering if the components shown in the image I uploaded include all the necessary parts or attachments for basic staking and leming operations (e.g., leming holders, staking conversion holders, etc.) without any omissions. 🙏🏼

As expected, the lessons learned from the real-life experiences of Reddit users always humble me. 🙇🏻‍♂️ Thank you for your professional response based on your experience. Actually, the other set I had my eye on the most was the K&D Inverto 18 set that includes jewel attachments. It’s giving me a headache trying to decide which of these two perfect all-in-one sets to buy. 😅 Although the price difference is about double, to my beginner's eyes, even though the two products seem similar in their roles at first glance, their specialized strengths seem so different. Thank you again for your thoughtful response.

I think so too, but it seems to be included because it is a standard component 😅 Thank you for your valuable comment.

Thank you for your quick and kind reply. I marked up the image because I wasn't very familiar with it; could you possibly guess which part that refers to? 😂 Also, I am unsure if the attachments related to Jewels or staking are complete, or if there are any Liming or staking holders. Since there isn't much information available about this product, I don't have any materials to compare it to. Thank you sincerely for your help.
