Set up the Dremel rotary tool with the Flexi-drive attached, put the pusher I manufactured yesterday in a pin vice. Using the Jewellers bench peg to hold the work steady, I give the pusher and case a quick polish with rouge.

Next, replace the pusher in the watch case, a small amount of Loctite 638 on the thread to hold the crown and a couple of drops of oil on shaft.

Replace the movement in case and then holding the pusher fully in to lock the hearts in place, I replace the seconds and minute hands.

 Test the stopwatch out and everything works ok. Replace the front bezel with the crystal attached.

So my 1970 stopwatch is repaired and upgraded with the Breitling Dial.

Just one more thing to do is fit a “BMW WilliamsF1 Team Race Club” neck strap and the watch is ready to join my watch collection.
