scott60 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I bought a very typical looking case holder with the 4 round plastic pins. I've tried the thing out now and it will not get a firm grip on ANY of my watches despite much manipulaton, tightening, repositioning, etc. Is this a common problem? Case holder is off brand purchased at Esslinger. Any thoughts? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 What is the body material of the case holder? The plastic ones tend to let the pins angle out which makes for less holding power. I have seen a few alloy with holes not square, again this will reduce holding power. The model we sell in our tool kit is very solid and rugged and uses brass pins. http://watchbitz.com.au/shop/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=235 Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott, I probably know the model, as we also received a box full of these with incorrectly drilled holes. Does it look like this one?-http://watchbitz.com.au/shop/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=44 I removed them from sale, until I could get replacements, and am still waiting for a refund for 50 case holders. Just one of the joys of the tool biz! However you soon sort out which suppliers to deal with in the future. The problem was incorrectly drilled holes, some oversized, some on an angle. Offshore.

Offshore. no offshore, it was a different type, also with poorly drilled holes. the distributor told me they will exchange for a different one..
