simstre Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 umm....I actually posted to general discussion board first...now I don't know how to move/delete the post......help? it only took 5 days from China to Canada! The insert is actually a bit dull, not pitch black. But overall, loving it, too bad I can't wear it right away as the band needs to be adjusted. Anyone in Vancouver, BC knows a good place to go for this? or do I just go to a watch shop at a mall? Here it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicemouse Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Nice watch. The date wheel looks excellent. Where did you pick this piece up? I believe you can easily remove the links yourself if you have a 1.60mm screwdriver. You don't hammer out the pins (just learned this, this week myself). Search on ebay for 'watch screwdriver' and you can get a whole set for under 10.00. I ordered a set of burgeons myself but I like having nice tools.

simstre Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I got it from Andrew. I do have 1.4mm screwdriver, gonna try it now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simstre Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 yay it worked! Now I can wear it to work tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hi and welcome. I like it:) Glad You had the screwdriver. Next pickup could be a handy watch repair kit (cheap on Amazon) with some screwdrivers, a lupe, and specially the pin removal tool and lug removal tool (it´s got another name but comes with the kit). A NATO strap and maybe a 20mm (cheap) n.d. divers rubber band and You´re set to go. One of the most unnerving things is to get a new watch and You can´t wear it, with the above You´re always set to go:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
