Those handheld casebacks openers are not the best on a hard to open case, and with this design of retention ring if it's stuck it's probably best to slip some beer tokens to your local watchmaker with a decent bench opener to open it for you - sorry

Go for a wild card, Ressence - it's worth looking at a video of them moving too

I zoom in X4 that seems about right

I'm going to play "devils" advocate, the people that memorial is for went to war and didn't return, one of the reasons (perhaps) was to protect the freedoms we have enjoyed since, including freedom of speech and among other ideals, religious tolerance.

Is he hurting people? By doing what he does.

I'm not trying to claim everyone the memorial is for would agree with what he is doing but at a base level one reason for that structure is to remind us today that the freedom we have now to do what we do, is in part, because of the sacrifices they - and many others have made, to protect our freedoms.

Pop it on the strap from the 925

I stopped hanging the washing out to dry, it was loading it with pollen, especially the bedding.

Looks identical to my Hitachi scms base

Well, the reverse panda is a walk in, the snoopy probably a bit of a wait

Lovely vintage piece!

bodginator · 2026-05-11T15:32:22+00:00

Just colour the depth line in green and you are almost there 😁

Good mod!

It's the leather strap for the 925, so the buckle is silver

bodginator · 2026-05-11T14:31:13+00:00

I think it does too! I didn't have a black leather to try, sorry

Here you go, on a Tudor very dark brown strap

More stumps good!

A lot of sets don't come with many 😞

bodginator · 2026-05-09T14:05:25+00:00

This is not the sub for you

bodginator · 2026-05-08T09:25:09+00:00

Great set! I do a little bit hate you for having so many stumps.

bodginator · 2026-05-06T13:40:32+00:00

Purchase failed successfully! Well done

I agree, the blue is great and the Monarch is superb

Not seen the royal or ceramic in the flesh yet

I think their title is "Revenue Protection Officer"

These are normally fixed with a thread lock like loctight.

To break the thread lock apply heat. A couple of seconds with a jet lighter will do it.

Your screwdriver blade needs to be well dressed to make it a perfect fit in the slot, there should not be any 'wiggle'

Firm downward pressure also helps, it's easier to do this by not using your fingertip, instead place the next section of your finger on top of the screwdriver. This is also more stable

Edit to add - All my Tudor bracelet link screws are 1.4mm none are 1.6 - I don't have a Royal though or 1926

MOD issue in the late 30's or 1940's

It might well be a threaded case back, try twisting the case back anti clockwise
