Hey nice review mate!

I wasn't the only one who thought so as offshore from www.watchbitz.com.au saw this and decided you need a reward.

Please contact me via PM with your shipping address and a hands press tool to replace that Bic along with a silicon grease applicator sponge for lubing those O-rings to perfection will be on their way to you cutesy of Watchbitz and RWI.

This is why I love this forum!... Very giving and respectful member's.
Great Review!.... I love these! Alway learn something new!

Hand removal

Great tutorial! I'm waiting for my hand removal tool. Is this process still possible with a spring loaded removal tool? One that is not the lever type? And lastly, how do you know the hands are placed on correctly? Do they click when in the right place? What about the seconds hand? Thanks! I'll be following your tutorial when I do this.

Hand work

This is just great. When I start my project I will follow your tutorial. I wasnt aware that these dials were readily available... Thanks for the great writeup.

Did you do this mod? How'd it go? I am going to do it next week. How did the hand removal and setting go?
