Relume - Dial prep advice wanted

Recommended Posts

You have to find something thin (like a razor blade) but usually a nice thin screwdriver, something that you can use to lever and carefully pry the two halves apart. Be careful not to slice your finger off with a razor blade, but on the same note, be careful that you do not ruin the dial by carelessly shoving a screwdriver and prying with great force.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I really don't want to ruin either of those things.

Yes, start with some thin blade just to separate the two layers enough to insert a watchsmith knife.

Work gently on the full circumference of the dial, small segment after small segment, until you get a feeling of where the pins are.

Then work near the pins, always gently, a fraction of mm near one pin, then a fraction of mm near the other pin, and so on.

It is more difficult to say (at least by a poor English speaker like me) than to do. At leat it was on my dials.
