stephane - i mean take a drill bit and put it into the bracelet where the spring bar would go.....
I've photoshopped what i think would work.....
*note I haven't done this YET, but it makes sense to me.... anyone else wanna chime in?
ok what i'm curious about is how these "vintage" dials get so beat up over the 40 years or so....they are INSIDE the watch case....
anyone care to explain? lol
no, use a 11/64" drill bit to counter sink
i went too far down thou.
"drill very gradually, until the cut approached the outer edge of the case...then stop. Also, make sure that your bit stays centered in the hole. Good luck."
to remove the stock tube i used a 5/64 hex screw driver and just pushed in it so it would grab it and it twisted right out...
i have heard of people saying its glued so you results may be different then mine...
