Perhaps someone in Germany could make a good sized order of various sizes, then put them up for offer in the sales area?

I'll do it as soon as they get the right screws.

Just send an email to the owner (toselli@online-schrauben.de). I'm sure you can work something out with her (tell her you don't need insurance - a simple letter will suffice). PS: The screw head is too big (3mm) but they told me they will get a matching (non-DIN) one within the next 2 weeks.

I use DIN 84 A2 M 1,6 x 4 (http://www.online-schrauben.de/cgi-bin/onlineschraubende.storefront/4b862f5c0cb467c0273fc0a8022306b0/Catalog/1574) for my fiddy (cartel case, EL CG). DIN 84 A2 M 1,6 x 3 are also OK.

PS: The screw head needs some work.

Or you use something like this. I bought a used one for 45 EUR on ebay (new it's around 70 EUR - good investment - answers all your bench scale sanding needs) and the whole sanding took me about 15 minutes (btw: I used 2 taped pliers to hold the insert - sand a bit, turn clockwise, sand... just as you'd do it manually).

Great work!

I used a band grinder to sand the insert. That worked like a charm.

Oh, sorry to hear that the case had a worn out thread...

Don't worry. No problem at all. There's no business like rep business. I'm loving it . I'm collecting oldtimer tractors so I'm used to tinker around . All I need are the right tools. I just ordered the watch repair set from one of the trusted dealers here.

oh my...

erm.... :|

I didn't use a sledgehammer. A thread on the case (where the CG sits) was worn out (new watch btw!) and so I cut a new thread. When I then drilled a fitting hole on the CG I used a tiny little to much force and drilled all the way through (= no hold for the screw head anymore). I think I just need a smaller bench drill.

Thanks for your answer Pete! I can't wait to get your EL case . I hope I'll be able to swap the parts (movement, crystal, etc.) without accident. Not like yesterday when I tried to fix the worn out CG-thread on my new fiddy.... But I learned something new: Never use the tools you normally use for your tractor to repair/mod your watch .

Hi!

This question may have been asked before but I used the search function and didn't find anything.

My question: Does an Eddie Lee CG fit on an ultimate fiddy case?

Many thanks

Hey everyone!

I've been a lurker for a while now, but now I just thought I'd actually introduce myself.

My Name is Chris and I live in Austria/Europe. I just bought a DSSD and a "10-corrected" bezel insert from Mary. I really hope I get it through customs .

Cheers Chris

Nice dresswatch .

Hi everbody!

I'm a newbie and have a newbie question . I noticed that some (not all) DSSD's have a black (laser?) mark next to the gas valve. What is that mark good for? And how come that some have it and some don't?

Many thanks

Chris
