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.
Eric: Which case opener did you use? Can you post a pic?
