I know this is a really old thread but I still want to say thanks and bump it up so that others can see it aswell.
I have always hated my CP, and I recently decided to buy a high/long CP. I haven't placed an order yet, but I was really bored so I decided to take the watch apart today so that it would be ready for the CP swap. When I took the watch apart I sort of noticed that my CP already was a long/high version, but that the minute hand didn't fit very well...:facepalm:
So, all I had to do was to file down the thing on the minute hand just like shown in this thread, and then it was perfect! So even though this thread is a few years old, I still wanna thank the OP. So thank you!
Before :facepalm::
After:thumbsup::

I am glad you found this old thread Calibre16, and also glad you were able to fix your watch. Great job on your repair :cheers:
Well Photobucket finally removed all the photos. This means most every single photo I posted since I joined is kaput poof vanquished. I may try and redo some through Imgur if and when I get the time but until then, it was a good run :idontknow:
then again I suppose the cannon pinion repair is no longer needed anyway, I don't hear of anyone doing it anymore but still it took hours of work with my old Nikon camera to get these up. Anyway I just need a little time to vent LoL. Heading to photobucket and dump my account to the trash, that will help :cheese:
This thread has helped many, me included, and is a part of the basic skills set that any watch tinkerer needs to learn.
Someone should sue photobucket.

Thanks Killowattore, that's nice to know. I guess I shouldn't have put all my eggs in the PB basket but once I get the time I'll rummage through my photos and try to get some of them back up.
I guess we're all in the same boat. Should my host do the same I'd loose years of reviews and build threads. I'd be very very pissed 
Yep deleated mine yesterday, hundreds of pics across many forums but PB hasn't been working for me for some time so now it's gone.
Used PB since 2006 with almost 1300 files uploaded just deleted the account. It takes them two days to delete the account. I would guess that almost half of the photos posted in watch forums were hosted by PB. Well, it was a good ride while it lasted, time to start over now :baby:

Dave I'll try to locate them and get them up later this week, I think I still have them. I have so many photos on my computer now unfortunately they're not all categorized but I think I can find them.
