The Ingy bracelet is a bit special, and very cool to resize. If you look on the inside of the mid-links, there is a small button. What you need to do, is press that small button in with 1 toothpick, and then push the pin through with another one. THAT'S IT! It's sort of like a lock for the links. Each mid-link locks in 2 pins. Enjoy the watch and wear it in good health... it looks great!

Been there, done that. I used a little trick I picked up from another forum that helped tremendously. Remove the stem altogether, and pinch the tube on the outside of the case LIGHTLY with some needle nose pliers. Work the pliers around the tube with an even pressure, and periodically try re-inserting the stem and screwing down the crown. What you're trying to achieve is a "smaller" tube. Yes it's a bit of a hack, but it took my stripped crown/stem in to something that ended up being at least twice as good as the original. Definitely worth a shot!

Contemplating taking a kick at the can for producing an accurate date wheel overlay for the Ingy. From what I understand, Lello no longer produces the actual Ingy-font date wheels. Would a proper printed overlay be sufficient on these watches? It seems like the DW is the only thing holding the Ingy back from super-rep status?? Does anyone happen to have a CAD or even photo/high-res file of what the Ingy datewheel should look like? Or, anyone with a Lello wheel able to scan it in high-res for some experimentation??
