specialvat Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Guys Being bored is never good when you have tools and no talent, so I m waiting for the secs @12 EOD to be made and decide to botch I mean mod my angus special. Started thinking how to add the 12 oclock marker its only 1mm by 2mm, bought the smallest paintbrush from a model making shop but had an epiphany while playing with the cat. One of his wiskers came out a while back and the misses kept it. Et voila a tiny paint brush ideal for details, not sure if the dial is going to make it needs a second coat tomorrow so will have to wait. So back to topic - whats the weirdest thing you ve used during a watch mod ? And to add no cats were harmed during the modding of this watch Cheers, DH.

If you see Kay Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 hahh, hahh, I too used a meat cleaver but for me it was to use the spine of the cleaver to bash a PO pin back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 My watch tool set..... Ken All joking aside, I do use the blade of my Swiss Army Knife as a springbar tool if a watch is on a strap (and has springbars ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I recently used about a 1.5 mm screwdriver to manufacture a new pearl for my chrono avenger. Yep, that little pearl is all that is left of the screwdriver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailboss Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Nanuq: WTF are you doing to that Rollie and what did it ever do to you? I know lubricants require warming in your part of the world but that's a bit OTT Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Not quite as risible as dildo jokes, but I picked up a tip from Pugwash a while back, to use post it notes to aid hand installation. Stick hand to gummy bit of post-it and use post-it as handle to assist placing hand onto movement. Works at treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
