Not a Problem...
In Response To: thanks, john. one more question >>> ()

: how do we ensure that the crimp in the tube
: matches up exactly with the depresion in the
: pin? after the pin is pushed thru, i can
: still "balance" it a little by
: making the two pin ends equidistant from the
: bracelet edges. is it really important to
: line up the crimp and pin depression
: exactly, or is the push fit good enough by
: itself ??
: am i just being really anal ??? :-)

The push fit is good enough by itself since the crimps in the tubes are what is holding the pin firmly in place. Granted, there may still be a little "wiggle room" because of what you described, but there's still no way the pin is going to fall out with 2 individual crimp tubes holding it inside the link. I've sized a lot of Omega bracelets and never had a problem with a pin or link falling out.

Oh, and , no, you're not anal, just inquisitive like the rest of us!!!
