Moppel Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 My little guide: How to install pins on an OMEGA SMP Chrono Even though I loved my Chrono from the very first time I received it, there was one flaw that bothered me: The bracelet is using screws instead of pins. So I began thinking about how to change from screws to pins. Here is how I did it and what tools and parts I used. First of all you need these little pins. Diameter is 1.2mm, the notched part has a diameter of 1.4mm. Available here at Cousins I had to shorten the length to 19.7mm This is how the bracelet looked before modification. I used a drill diameter 1.2mm to drill the old screw thread. This would be the side where you wanna install the pins. Note that this is the side where the notched end of the pins has to be ( the drilled end ) You really have to use some force to install the pins. So I used a brass pin to put the pins in the right position in order to avoid any damage to the bracelet. And finally here is how it looks like. To me it was fun doing it and now this beauty is a bit closer to the gen :-) I hope my little guide is understandable as I am not a native english speaking person.
