as I have said lots of times, I was less tham impressed with the lugs on the dsn fiddy.

here's what I'm talking about:

I spend a few hours this x-mas trying to improve this issue, so have a look if you guys think I got it right.

what I used for this was a set of tiny files, that I found in a leather handcraft shop downtown.

great to work with- much better than a piece of sand paper, you can steer the ancle much better with this file, and still the file is so small it is somewhat flexible, and bends slightly with the shape of the case.

at least it doesn't bother me anymore to look at my fiddy- everytime I looked at it before, all I saw was the annoying lugs- I'm sure you all have a similar thing that just bugs your eeehh?? arm off :)

It is strange Dsn selling this watch with this big flaw.
Well done mate, I wouldn't know how to solve it!

Nice job, Trk! Did you re-brush the finish or were the files fine enough?

thanks guys :)

I did the shape with the file, and finished it off with a fine grit sanding, then I finally brushed it with a 2400 grit sand paper (actually fabric ) I think I could go over it again some time and get the brushing a bit better, but for now, I'm quite pleased
