under the Post: Simon's 3 Vintage Watches.
On page two there you will find the newly arrived
Elgin DeLuxe 694 17 Jewel 4 Adjustment USA
inscribed manual wind,in 10kt Gold Filled.
The small sheet of glass was ordered a month ago,
and I proceeded to get down to work after
an 8 hour work day on Thursday night.
Three of my fingers were cut when the
sheet of glass shattered as I was making the
template. Just a minor flesh wound.
Having removed the bandages, on Friday morning.
I used a small watchmakers hand file to smooth out
the rough edges. I was off to work.
Came back at 10pm and used a Dremel tool to polish
the edges and test fitted the crystal next came time
to add the epoxy.
I wanted to preserve the authenticity of the
watch by replacing the scratched acrylic crystal.
Cheers,
Simon
