I've had to "sacrifice" an additional 2671 date wheel to modify into a spacer, glue on top of existing date wheel to increase "height", then glue on the overlay. A real PITA...

I use an electric drill, machinists vice, and a bit just a hair over 2mm.

It's been my experience (on watches sent to me for modding and my copy of this watch) that the bezel can usually be popped off quite easily with the thumbs. The first couple bezel rings I made I tried to make this retention a bit more positive but with security came increased rotation resistance and more often a totally frozen bezel.

Maybe her, Lindsey, and Charley could check into "The Clinic" and be roomies? The little yard-ape going after the stone hooter brings new meaning to "Can't get blood out of a turnip"!

Jury duty today so will continue with the "subdued" look...

Between one and two weeks...

Staying somewhat small...

OK, let's get this ball rollin'!

I have no idea, I didn't measure it...

For the start of my "real" work-week...

Yeah, but Tony doesn't have the grey one! I may have to get another one as it's sorta growing on me now that it lives somewhere else...

I don't blame you, I'd have bought every one I could find at that price!

Bring yourself on! Mostly what you'll see is a giant mess!

Less than the $40+ Otto wants, maybe $10/ea? I got an assortment of cheap ones from Cousins but they are the press-in style...

If you just work on "standard" sized cases that would work. The DSSD takes the bigger one while the mid-size, Tudor 34mm, and ladies size all take another.

Springs and me still don't get along very well. Is the style used in the clone movement "old-school" or just a normal manufacturing variation?

I need some cheap aftermarket ones for a "project".

That's what I did to this one except I did it in the lathe. You might be able to chuck the crown in an electric drill then put a file to it while it's spinning...

Is there a source for "reasonably priced" versions of these?

Yeah, I doubt that it costs more than a few bucks more to build a clone ETA than it does an a21j...

Now that the lug holes are a bit better it seems more fun to wear!

This is the Clark "Pearl Dot". I can't remember exactly how much they were but $12 seems to ring a bell...

I didn't need to but that's no guarantee...
