The Rolex Microstella Tool
The Microstella is Rolex system to adjust the balance wheel to
make sure the watch
keep the COSC standard. To do that there is a special tool to
adjust the screws with.
The old tool looks like this and it's oil filled to be a
little more exact and stable.
At the backside there is
graduation which means
1 second per day for
each line.
A closer look to the tool.
Here we have a balance wheel with the Microstella screws.
Here is how it works.
A few pics of the tool in action.
The instuctions from Rolex.
And some pics of the new/current Microstella tool.

however do you have a picture of the tool next to something for scale..? It looks like a 'big' tool but when you then realise what it does it must be small but I can't work out the relative scale of it. Thanks, Andy.
Thanks for the great report...
