Hi, all! Been a while since I last came up for air, here! I have pretty much retired from modding but still do engraving and I am wondering if there would be enough interest in 1016 bezels to justify my making a batch? I was doing some cleaning in the shop and found a chunk of the stainless I use for bezels.
Looks good! I finished my Space Dweller a couple months back but still haven't got a good tint match on the hands.
Out of curiosity how much "stem bind" do you have? The cases I use to make these from are for a 2824 movement...
I'm waiting for PP to suspend my account as I have never provided them with my SSN. They harassed me about it for a couple of years and apparently gave up!
I have used lacquer thinner. Seems to dry fast with no residue I can see but keep it away from the pallet forks as I have had it dissolve the glue that the stones are attached with!
Yeah, been a while. Been concentrating on other hobbies (ham radio mostly) which have been neglected over the years and spend the summers at our off-grid cabin in Oklahoma. I'm still turning out a few 1016 case sets from time-to-time but mostly just taking it easy!
This made me think about when I joined and realized it was over 10 years ago! Still kicking but trying to wind down and I've been hiding out in the SE Oklahoma mountains waging war on the 'coons and armadillos since the virus snuck in...
