Never ending MOD...

So, what's next?

I am afraid that this watch will end up on a trash due to malfunction someday*LOL*

Just keep enjoying on what you are doing, Eric.

This is true...I will consider my this mylearning on the job, DIY training course. I am now quite adept at removing hands, dial faces etc...To think, it all started with wanting to paint the tip of a simple little Seconds hand a few months back on my Monster. I have moved onto some rather cool cosmetic changes. smile8.gif
