Depends. Is the Patek WG or SS or Pt? Is the Patek geneva seal or PP seal?

Is that hammer used for smashing crystals of less desirable brands?

The cost of this service just tripled due to the use of Patek tools.

Has the hammer been recently serviced and polished? If so, the factory chamfers are gone and you should avoid using it.

Thanks Bas! Great post.
