You Never Cease to Amaze me Eric
The Monster Looks Awesome with the Yellow Second Hand 
Well, my impulse disorder kicks in yet again. I now have a yellow sec. hand on my Black Monster.
Tools: watch case opener, thumb tack, Yellow spray paint & Q-tip.
Opened it up, used thumb tack to press stem release button. Pryed out movement...sprayed paint into shallow dish. Dipped Q-tip in paint and chased the seconds hand around the dial till it was yellow. Crazy, I did not even wait for the atch to stop ticking. Talk about impatience. Overall the job looks decent. This is the first time I have ever opened a watch. It was scary, but I believe I can do anything.
Note: I did not even mask off the dial...it took very steady passes of the Q-tip as the seconds hand would aproach. I am actually touching it up now. so it should only get better.
