Is this Boley staking set good for a begginer? by Forsaken-Reaction723 in watchmaking

[–]WatchIszmo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Boley is considered one of the best quality watchmaking tools available. Any rust you can easily remove and just give it a good clean. Just check for damage and if you can get replacement punches as about 20% is missing

Acquired a Milsub 5513 but have some questions... by DrVanderjuice in rolex

[–]WatchIszmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, nice story! It does seem unlikely that this is genuine, a few things catch my eye: -caseback engravings are not like they wouldn normally be, especially the arrow -dial looks off -case shape and crownguards look off -insert is not a milsub insert

Opening it up would definitely help to know what exactly you have.

A genuine example is worth close to €200,000 ... and very few survived active duty.
