This is a high-quality watch press for the money. I would even compare it to Swiss name-brand presses costing far more. It would be helpful if some instructions came with it, however. In the photos, notice the large, flat red metal disc with the knurled edge that's screwed onto the upper jaw of the press. It appears to me that you would only use that as a spacer and support for the single-sided dies for rectangular watches. If you're using a round, two-sided die, you have to remove that disc in order to have enough exposed threads to secure the die to the upper jaw. In the photos, the press has a thick, threaded flat aluminum die installed on both upper and lower jaws hiding the screw threads. That configuration could be useful for pressing things besides watches together, perhaps while glue is drying. Also, the seller's description says the press is cast iron. I'd say it's actually mostly anodized aluminum with some steel parts. I don't see any parts that look like cast iron. Anyway, it's all precision-machined and very well made. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. Gave it four stars only because of the lack of instructions and somewhat inaccurate description.
