agree that sizing should be done by svc ctr or 3rd ppty if not confident or 1st timer on this.

i size all my watches by myself except for my Rolex. i feel it is very easy for the screwdriver to slip and if the screwdriver head is too small may also mark the grove of the screw.

nice lume wrist shot!

Beautiful ilum shot! Remember never to charge the indices using led light. It's actually harmful to the watch.

i heard it has increased. why don't you give a call to RSC to get an indication on where the price will start from.

Why is this so?

Remember never to charge the indices using led light. It's actually harmful to the watch.

[roguehog]

i dont know how true this is but i read watchwerkz posts that charging using led is not the right way.

one of the reasons i can think of is led is used as a light cure device in dentistry work. this is used to dry up the dental fillings they place in your teeth. it is also used in nail salons to dry nail polish. based on this i would think that high exposure to led might age the lume markers prematurely.

not sure if the lubricant in the watch will be affected too.
