preacher62 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 On a separated topic, where is everyone getting their movement clamps and screws from? E When you purchase a movment from watchmaterials or some other supplier, it comes with a dial ring, set of clamps and two screws. If you sent an email to watchmaterials on eBay, they might furnish you some. I'll send you some if you need. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Some parts I have purchased separately as well as used and in the process I have ended up with less screws and clamps than I needed. I would buy some if available. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchguy2 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Worked all day on the crown. Wanted to install a gen crown and tube but ended screwing up 2 tubes and the gen crown. Had to put back the old crown and tube for now, till I get the proper tool. It looks good on a NATO too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolexaddict Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Good job ! Sorry, I read a lot a bout mods here, but I am often to lazy to get a response when you reduce the crown size, if the tube is to long, you can disassemble the tube and tap to install it a little deaper in the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
