Bob Reed 0 Posted November 15, 2012 Well there it is, my beloved Sub all apart. It had a tragic accident at work the other day. Knocked off my work bench on to the cement floor. A good drop. Knocked 2 of the markers off and dinged the case. I ware this watch all week at work and my job is not kind to it. Well I needed to fix it the right way so I took a deep breath and got some of the tools I have acquired and went at it. All apart and I inflicted no more damage to it in the process. Now I am thinking a relume trial? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crusader 0 Posted November 15, 2012 ...take a break now and then... it helps to clear your mind when you are 'stuck' Great advice, don't force anything. There is no way back when something is broken, only waiting for the new parts to come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT88 1 Posted November 15, 2012 what i learned is before you learn something, you have to break something. just a cautionary advice, be careful of breaking more things along the way, especially it's your first attempt. go slow. never ever rush. lastly, have fun!

J.Eric 698 Posted November 17, 2012 Re-luming is not the easiest thing in the world to do (nor the hardest) but if you have the right tools and plenty of patience, the results can be amazing! And be sure to practice a lot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
