jigelow Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I've purchased quite a few mounting screw sets, but all of the heads on the screws are too big to fit in the recessed area on my ETA 2451. Any idea where the best place to look may be? I've seen a lot of the watch/eye glass screw sets, but all of them look too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigelow Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yeah those are pretty standard. The head is too big, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceejay Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Another option which I have used in the past is to get a cheap set of pin pin vices like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4PC-Pin-Vice-Drill-Chuck-Set-Jewellery-Making-Watch-Repair-Model-Craft-1-2-3-4mm-/301312911000?hash=item4627a62698:g:p34AAOSwQItUFAVf Mount the screw in the pin vice and the pin vice in a drill and then turn down the head with a small file or wet & dry paper.
