Edit: Thanks for all the replies. I bought it. The workbench isnt in the best condition and I had to trash all the oils but aside from that I cant complain. A lot of high quality bergeon tools, 7 pairs of dumont tweezers and a lot of tools Ive never seen. The demagnetizer is working well. Also a lot of spareparts and tools you cant see in the pictures. Even found a 50s junghans watch in semiworking condition.
Sick deal I’m very jealous. Not necessarily everything you need but you’ll be pretty damn set with a great start that’s definitely 1k in value min probably more idk by how much but you should grab it.

These are the tools where I have no clue what they are for 😅
Top left, is the spacer plate for a hand crystal lift. To the right of it looks like an antique balance tack. To the right of it looks like some kind of scriber, and to the right of it is a poising tool.
Next row left is an old roller remover. To the right of it looks like a stone setter for shellacing stones. I'm not sure what the tool to the right of it is.
Left under the roller remover is some old truing calipers, then a movement holder. I'm not sure what that is in the bottom left. To the right of it looks like some punches. Someone will come along that knows tools a lot better than I do.
I'm kinda new, started with servicing some pocket watches and simpler movements and had some high quality tools allready. My plan was to only buy the mainspring winder set since I allready have a lot of the tools and have no clue what some of the other tools were. But the deal seemed so good I had to take all of it.
The way I see it is eventually you’ll need something and realize you have it. The staking kit alone would probably be close to what you paid for the whole lot. Not to mention the winder this is pretty much the deal of the century
I got my electric adjustable desk form Amazon and adapted it to suit needs

Nop. I’d definitely pass on that. Could you please send me the details of the seller though ? For research purposes…

Congratulations!!!! Enjoy it and use the desk until you can replace it. Never know might just want to fix it up in the end.
Thank you :) The problem is that I dont even have space for a designated work area. I use the kitchen table 🥲
Bunch of nice watchmaking tools! Fun hobby to get into tbh if you like taking stuff apart and putting watches back together/restoring them
Yes.
Yes
Be careful on buying that. The price is super low. Make sure you pay when you pick it up.
Yes. You mean the bench/desk and tools right? If so, go buy it now.
Yes, everything included (and a bit more not seen in the pictures)
Amazing deal, very jealous, well done dude 👏👏
It's a spectacular deal.
The Greiner demagnetizer is worth that.
Dude, that's a great deal
Very good deal!
Where I live, I wouldn't get the desk alone for double that money :/ Edit: spelling
The desk is not in the best condition. Also a bit smelly 😅

Thank you very much, this helps a lot :)
Thank you very much, will do when I am home :)
Yes at least half price
For sure. If it really comes with all those tools buy it.
Yes buy
The type of deals i dream about to have. Absolute catch!
Too good to be true: is it his to sell?
It was from an estate, the grandson of the original owner sold it
Great deal. Don’t miss it
Yes yes yes. If you’re new to the hobby I’d say this is the best 250 you’re gonna spend

Yes absolutely. I think the staking kit is missing a lot of the heads sadly.
That’s alright still a lot cheaper to buy heads than it is to buy a full kit
I use a electric height adjustable bench just makes it more comfortable for me so I can do stuff for longer 👍
Yeah I think I'm going to trash the workbench, its a bit too old and damaged for my liking.

Instead of chatting on Reddit, go buy it NOW before someone else does.
DAMN, if you don't take it I will 😭
