JoeyB Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 That's the same one as Harbor Freight sells in the U.S., and I have mentioned a few times in other threads. It really does the job for those of us who don't plan on making a living with it. If you go to Harbor Freight make certian to get the online coupon, usually 20% off. That brings the price to around $10usd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTEEL Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 lol. Yup, swear by mine, have two, the lever type, and the screw type. The latter I find useful for other things too such as bezel and insert refitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the largest looking one I can find, comes with dies upto 40mm and I ordered a set of extra large dies for it too that go upto 53mm. The smaller models I don't think you could even fit a 45mm watch into them, never mind press out / in the 40mm crystal. So definitely watch which one you buy.
