KinCaidk 0 Posted August 21, 2009 I overestimated my watchmaking skills and the toughness of my watches and now have these projects that I am stuck with! CRAP! The projects are: 1x Omega Planet Ocean from Narikaa - Needed: 1 new clasp (the nipple fell off) 1x Omega UPO - Needed: 1 new clasp (the nipple fell off) (oh, and I screwed the keyless works) 1x Rolex Explorer 1 - Needed: 1 movement holder tap+screw 1x SMP - Needed: 1 new clasp (fucked it up while trying to get the part with the nipple off it) 1x Rolex submariner 1680 - Nedded: 1 proper insert (the old one had a rendevouz witht the bleach from hell) I anyone can help me with some of these parts, I would be happy as hell. I wanna sell some stuff to justify me buying more reps.. Thanks in advance, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iabounty 8 Posted August 22, 2009 Well, I for one am proud of you......... The initial investment in watches, parts and tools is great. The experience is worth the investment...... But the results are priceless.. You never make the same mistake twice with a watch..... Not so with women..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
