Description

Vintage Electro-Vise crystal lift tool made by the Electro-Seal Watch Crystal Corp, right here in NYC.  These are the tools that watchmakers and watch repair people use to install acrylic or plastic watch crystals easily and safely without damaging the delicate crystals or the watch bezel.  The inside diameter of the jaws is 32.92mm, so I’d they are probably not sufficient for today’s larger sized watches–of course, most of the modern watches use sapphire crystals anyways.  This should serve you well for work on smaller vintage pieces.

This thing is built solid and the mechanism itself is simple… translation: it’ll work well and last forever.  You could clean this up to look a little nicer or use it just as is, your choice.

Avoid the new India and Chinese made knock offs of these tools.  You really need the precision alignment on all of the compression teeth.
