Patek Pusher

I have an extra attack pusher tool. How can I tell if it’s white gold, platinum, or stainless steel?

Well if it’s like Patek spring bars then it will always be gold - at least that is my understanding.

Go to a gold and silver dealer, they have acids that they can test it with

Use a wooden toothpick and not worry.

Sorry I'm waiting for gb man to respond ��

Looks like steel, could be platinum or white gold but wait it maybe silver oh and plastic. Sorry that’s the best I could do.

If I remember correctly, there is a hallmark « au750 » somewhere on it. And I think all pushers are made from white gold. That’s what the salons told me.

The pusher pencils have gold tips in order to insure softness against the corrector buttons in the case.

However, watchmakers use wooden picks, as Calatrava r suggests.

Additionally, I have been instructed to advance the movement by hand for a full 24-hour cycle or so to make sure the perpetual/annual calendar and moonphase mechanisms are in sync. Using a pusher on the corrector buttons is apparently intended for large changes, like when your CH27-70 Q has been sitting for a couple of weeks.

.

does it really matter what its made out of when everyone pushes it through the plastic bag so they dont have to open it?

Haven't touched mine ever since I got my 5712. I just use a toothpick!

I use the same pusher for my ss Nautilus and pm watches. No issues whatsoever.

Risky routine if the pick slides between the case and the button and breaks then you will need a watchmaker to fix it(dismantle the case etc),the pusher is designed for that particular operation.

Service gets a number of pieces a year with bits of wooden toothpick stuck in the mechanism.

I always use the pusher. And it should be gold, because it's hella expensive to replace and I don't think they'd charge that for steel.

[Aquaman]

They also have the black plastic pushers now,

Thought this was a good idea until I read about the subsequent post on shards of wood creeping in

since i packed my pushers in my sea shipment and was without for 7 weeks during the move i found a sim card tool to be pretty effective. Obviously not soft like wood, but i would be too paranoid to use something that could break.

anyway, works great in a pinch

Mine just sits in the box. I thought steel watches come with steel ones and gold watches come with gold ones. But I could be wrong.

I have a very soft rubber pusher from an omega watch that I have. I tend to use that for all of mine.
