Yeah, they count, especially if you're into hen's teeth.

Perfect for Dennis to check all his quartz watches. BTW this is a Witschi machine with Omega branding, not made by Omega. I haven't used this specific model, but have used it's successor, the Witschi Q Test 6000...

There're some pretty fabulous vintage tools here. 👍

I only have one vintage tool...a 4X Bausch & Lomb Optical Co. loupe that my Uncle Jim (a watchmaker/clockmaker/collector) gave to me circa 1972 when I started to get into pocket watches at the age of about 8. I'm not sure of the age of the loupe but I'm thinking it's probably from the 1950's or 1960's.
