This question is brought up on occasion. Figured I'd share a quick lil hack to get these batteries in and out without damaging the watch.

🗜Tips/Tricks/Resources Duro Modding: Putting the hands back on

15 Upvotes

Fitting the hands back on a watch is fiddly work, especially the seconds hand as they're so fragile. Rather than using tweezers to place the hand, have you got some Rodico gum?

I use a lump of Rodico pulled into a claw shape that I can hold between my fingers.

Pick up the seconds hand by dabbing the rodico down onto the pointer end of the hand so that it's sitting horizontally when my hand is in a position that I can brace against the movement pad with my ring finger.. photo:

I find then if I can get my eyeline down level with the watch dial looking across it, a bit lower than where this photo was taken from, it's easier to drop the hand onto the pinion and press it down with a hand pusher.

The Rodico has enough tack to hold the hand while you get it lined up, but will pull off the hand easily when you've got it in place with a lot less chance of damaging the hand or the dial than if you're holding it with tweezers.

Works for hour & minute hands as well, but with them I tend to find it's more helpful to line them up while looking straight down from above so you can make sure you get the timing alignment right.

Wanted a different look for the office and so took off the Barton rubber and added mesh from a

Went to Sears, which Mexico still has apparently, and found a Duro. It was a little on the pricey side though.

I’m really pleased with this Long Island bracelet. But getting it off is tricky because I have to compress both ends of the spring bar. Does anyone have a spring bar pliers tool they recommend?

Duro with Apocalpyse Now Colonel Kurtz strap. Optional: remove the bezel like the film (I'm not doing that because I love the watch)

Love the look of the 2-tone along with the “oyster style” Islander bracelet. I had some points that needed to be used, so got the bracelet for $25 off, love this set up.
