Any one have any experience with Horotec Watch Tools? I have to get some new tools and I was looking at the Horotec line, they seem to offer a lot for the money on a Swiss made tool. I cut my teeth on Bergoen tools, but recently added a L-G Case wrench and Rolex case opener due to then being so portable and opening larger cases than the Bergoen Jax. So I am trying to open my mind to alternative tool brands.

Eric...I have a case opener and a sizing tool from Horotec available at the PMWF...not bad but along the same line as Moon Watch tools which are half the price and just as good imho:) I have found spending a little more on Bergeon and similar brands is a better way to go as they are much better made imho...but for someone starting out and not wanting to spend a lot they more than serve their purposehand6.gif personally I think you know exactly what you like from seeing some of the tools you have!watch2.gifWhere did you get your case holder...I have been meaning to ask ...I am using a alluminum Moon product and it is loosing it's grip from use(this is what I mean about some tools..threading is cheap)I still favor my old yellow pine case holder but it has it's limits:P

One case holders that I use is the Bergoen 2820 with the 4 independently adjustable nylon pins. The only problem is that you are limited to smaller case sizes 43mm +/- max. The Bergoen Jax 5090 44mm +/- max or the 5685 is not bad and works with really large cases I do not do cases over 47mm so I have no Idea how big it goes. Honestly I need to look through the invoices to find out where it came from. Side note, I am putting your encylopedia of watch matterials in this order.
