  1. well, the good news is, with The Zigmeisters guidance, i was able to remove the stem from this watch without the keyless works going nuts, and i put the movement in another 1680 case, that i already drilled the lugs on, so my white sub is up and running.

    bad news is, this tiny little evil piece of drill bit is stuck, and i mean stuck. so, either i get another case, or, one of you genius's cant take a crack at it for me.

    any takers?

  2. thanks The Zigmeister, but when i was checking the fit on the 1.2 mm screwdriver this morning on the release button , it seemed too big for the hole. it went into it, but does not seem to have the ability to really press much, am i doing something wrong?

    as for the bit, it is litterally the tip, lodge on the inner side of the lug, and it seemed LODGED in there, but i guess i can dry the hole punch thingy, maybe it will work, or else you'll be getting a case shortly after the movements arrive :) :) :)

  3. so for the time being, since i have an empty 1680 case (movement is off being serviced) i think i'm gonna put the white 1680 movement in there, so i can get the bit tip out without worry of damaging the movement.

    SO, i have a annoying question, which has been answered a million times before but I am very very gunshy, when pressing the crown release, what size screwdriver should i use, and should i press on an angle, straight, how? Cause the past 2 times i released the crown, the keyless works jammed up, so now 2 movements are on their way to The Zigmeister.

    Also, what is the best position for the crown to be in, date set, time set?

    thanks guys, always very helpful :)

  4. so, on the 3rd lughole on my white 1680 mbw, and the tiny little head of the bit breaks off, and is lodged in the hole. anyone every have this problem? if so, how do i get it out?

    thanks

    COME ON GUYS....i'm having trouble believing i'm the only person this has ever happened to! PLEASE HELLLLPPPP MMMMEEEE

  5. hmmm, possible :)

    Lots of talk about this mystery person who's not a mystery at all...i just prefer to keep my good relationship with him, so I will not provide his name, of course, most of you know who i got the watch from.

    and yes tribal, you and I both have EXCELLENT taste :) this is the watch thats getting the special insert that you're sending me :)
