I should probably get one.
This just looks like a pocket knife.
How easy can it get to be more fashionable
within just a couple of seconds without changing the watch?
It's a loupe that I have from my grandfather.
I got a little microfiber cloth. It's purple because that's how I roll.
So this video is about tools and accessories
or anything related to watches.
And I think you've brought some stuff with you.
Can you show us what you have?
I brought a UV light. You can trigger the lume, and it starts glowing right away.
Number one is this one, which is actually from an electrician's toolbox.
So, it's not a watch tool by definition,
but it comes in very handy because
I like to swap the band on my GMT from time to time.
Accessories: I only own several straps.
This is my ugly but useful storage case for all things watches.
Polywatch to fix up some scratches on the Hesalite crystal.
I bought it because it was the right size for fitting into my closet.
My watch winder - I use it more as a presentation box
because I have, like, three manual watches.
It doesn't make sense to wind them all the time.
Of course, we've got the Diver's Watch Facebook group stickers.
I also have a spring bar tool.
Especially in winter and summertime, I like to change this.
And also, when I get a little bit bored of a style, I like to like to pimp it up again.
The second thing that I brought is a band from PhenomeNato.
How easy can it get to be more fashionable within
just a couple of seconds without changing the watch?
My favorite thing I have, I think, is this very insignificant shock case.
It's essentially a hardshell case you store your watch in.
And I feel very comfortable putting my watches in there and just throwing it into a bag.
I don't have to worry about them breaking
It's cheap; it cost like $16 or so.
It's very affordable but very sturdy, and I couldn't live without it.
This is quite an interesting thing. It's a loupe that I have from my grandfather.
It's a folding loupe made out of Bakelite.
It has 8x magnification. You can have a look at details.
It's quite interesting sometimes, and I think quite useful.
Got the UV light for making my Speedy shine.
The Wristwatch Handbook.
A caliper for measuring, you know, stuff.
This was my grandpa's, so it also has some sentimental value for me.
Specifically, this book dives into a lot of details about the movement
or some valves on the watch – how they work.
And of course, the trusty Bergeon 6767 for changing straps or removing spring bars.
Ok, as always, I'd like to ask you to pull the tray that you have in front of you
and uncover it for me real quick and see what's underneath.
All right.
I've already seen this so many times in the videos; now I'm doing it myself.
I don't know what this is for. - What do you think it is for?
I don't know if it's got a special name, but it's just a ball to open and close the case back.
I think that's quite useful to have because it doesn't scratch your case back.
I think it's to close the back of the watch.
The demagnetizer. I've actually used it on this watch.
I think I have to use it again.
Sometimes they're important; they can get your watch to way better times.
My watch is running maybe 30 seconds fast, which is not terrible,
but you have other expectations. So then we just demagnetized it,
and it was back to COSC-certification levels.
So it's crazy what these magnet-things do,
and just doing it every once in a while or checking whether your watch is magnetized
saves you a trip to the watchmaker.
Polywatch I can also recommend. I have one at home.
Of course, I have the Speedmaster with Hesalite.
Plexiglass crystal – it just gets banged up or you scratch it.
And then you have to polish them. Not often, not all the time. I do it maybe every 3-4 months
or so. Then it looks like new, and then you can live on with your watch. It's
also nice to know that you can get a little scratch
in your Hesalite and not have to worry about buying a new crystal.
Why would you actually remove marks or dents? It belongs on a watch anyway, doesn't it?
This just looks like a pocket knife. - It's obviously a pocket knife, but
this is a special one because you have a normal blade and, on the other hand, you
have a case back opener blade. - This one? - Right, that's the one.
So that's designed for opening case backs, which are obviously not screw-
down case backs but rather press-in case backs. You pointed out the tool in the middle
Yes. - Why is that? - That's... am I allowed to touch it? - Yeah, sure, pick it up.
I think this is the nicer, bigger brother this thing. - If I put my
my metal bracelet on the watch, I'm always very scared I'll scratch it. I think
this is a little bit more helpful to not scratch the watch. - So, if you could take
one item with you right now, including the items you brought today,
which would it be? - The spring bar tool. - The watch not included?
It's definitely the folding loupe. - I think I would go with the loupe.
Well, it would be my spring bar tool. It's the first accessory I bought for
watches. It's also the one I've done the most damage with so far. - The tweezers are
number one. What I would also be very happy to own is a nice magnifying glass,
a loupe or whatever you want to call it. It actually elevates you to a kind of
new dimension for how you can appreciate a watch, and dials, and all that kind of
stuff. But, I guess, my recommendation for everyone else: Take
the NATO strap or take the leather strap. - Thank you for watching, and
subscribe to Chrono24. The channel? Wait. Should I redo it?
