It's for making sure the crystal is on tight.

Jocke will know. He probably uses it on his nipples.

Well the Ebay ad where you found this picture states that it's made to close Oyster cases but it seems like people here say it's a tool made for crystals instead. Since the seller doesn't seem to be a watch tools expert (not to say it's a bad thing) I'd probably go with what people here say.

This is what my Black belt in "Google-Fu" led me too:

"In order to properly close and seal a Rolex case, this tool is used to apply the correct amount of tension without damaging the case".

http://www.horologist.com/rolex_tools.htm shows a very similar tool with the above description:

(it can also be seen here as well for sale, translated in English http://translate.google.com/translat...ed=0CFcQ7gEwBw

I don't think so.

The crystal can be pressed on by hand; this thing would be serious over-kill.

I'd say it's a case closing wrench...

Here's a similar one but with a different ref. number.
