fiddy crown guard screw madness

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for screws for what I believe is a getat fiddy case. I have another one from PWC, and those screws definitely don't fit (slightly too big diameter, or the threads are wrong).

I ordered some screws from panatime (http://panatime.com/crguscforpaw.html), and they definitely don't fit. The head doesn't even make it into the CG (although I could grind down the diameter), but the threads don't match either.

I saw this on the 'bay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=310194564979) (looks like radiomir?), but I'm tired of paying overpriced fees for something that very likely won't even fit. The same seller has screws advertised as "fits 44mm or 47mm style CGs". If you say so...

I'm thinking of re-tapping my case to fit the larger screws from panatime. Has anyone had success with this? I know there isn't much material to work with. Maybe with enough loctite... :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Ok so this story has a happy ending (sort of).

I had been working on this watch on my dining room table, and I knew those screws just had to be nearby, even though disappeared weeks ago. I started methodically working through the dining room carpet inch by inch with my hands. After about 30 minutes, I found one! Then I had hope, so I didn't mind spending the next 30-45 minutes until I found the next one.

Problem solved :thumbsupsmileyanim:
