Re: Here's a tutorial
In Response To: Here's a tutorial ()

Thanks! I'll take it to a watchmaker first to see what they would charge, and then make my decision. Looking at the tutorial makes me think that I could do it, but if it isn't too steep I'll let a man who knows what he's doing do it for me.

: Hi Johan,

: Here's a tutorial covering the process

: Actually the tutorial is for a vintage
: Seamaster, but it's the same for a modern
: watch.

: All I would say is the following :-

: - If you "mess it up". How much may
: this cost you ? ( scratched watch, damaged
: bezel etc etc )

: - How much would a watchmaker charge to do this
: ? As you can see from the tutorial, it is
: not a long & complicated process.

: - If you decide to try it yourself, do you have
: a cheap watch that you can practice on 1st ?

: - As far as I'm aware you can remove the bezel
: with a decent penknife. But since you say
: you are "a fast learner with everything
: technical" you must know by now that
: the "right tool for the right job"
: is sometimes an absolute must.

: Good luck & let us know how you get on.

: Steve
