Drilling out CG screw

[choob]

Apparently green loctite isn't as east to undo as I remember so I have to drill out a screw that I stripped, the smallest bit I have has just rounded out the screw head and it's a bit of a stalemate.

Can anyone tell me the correct size bit I'd need and/or somewhere I could get it done cheaply in London, UK? Surprisingly I haven't done a lot of damage to the CG itself through the process despite my clumsiness.

I only need to get it open cuz the hour hand was running too close to the dial since I relumed and it popped off the second hand, which is now loose.

hehe it's already half way there since I scratched up the crystal trying to get the damn AR off. Then I scratched up the hands putting them back on. Then they scratched themselves up because the lume was too thick. Then the 'I' fell off the movement decal so it now reads 'Officine Panera'.

All this and I haven't even had it a month! My Omega Seamaster rep which I've had less than a week died today too, apparently taking the lume off of that wasn't as easy as I expected (seeing a pattern here?) and then while putting the second hand on I somehow got the spring to unwind (movement jumped around and I could hear something unravel). The lume, however, was awesome.

Next time I get a rep I'm just going to leave the damn thing unmodded/buy a proper one to start with. ASsuming of course that I can hold back the temptation to take it apart.

feel sorry for ya, felt like that when my B&R had its crystal smashed in, worked so hard for it, and it all went away in a second.

I say, keep these as your test subjects, and just send the watches in to get modded by a proffesional here

like vac or goin, etc...
