preacher62 Posted September 3, 2011 Report 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
Ephry73 Posted September 3, 2011 Report 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

dutchguy2 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report 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.
Ephry73 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Posted September 4, 2011 Looks good. The tool is essential so I have found out E

dutchguy2 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Posted September 5, 2011 Yes, bleach and after that a polish with cape cod.
Rolexaddict Posted September 5, 2011 Report 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
