The third day of Quartz Watches!

 Practice makes perfect.


A couple of interesting watches:

I had to use my crystal compression tool to remove the crystal on the colourful Westar quartz watch. as the dial and movement release from the case from the front, needed to put the second hand back on.



I also needed the use of my "Third Hand" and anvil to remove the "stuck" front bezel on the Skagen Denmark watch.

Placing the pendant tube in the hole in the anvil, and after a couple to taps with watchmakers hammer on my case back opener it popped off, and no scratches on the case!

As this watch also needs front bezel removed to take out dial and movement.
This watch already had a broken crystal, so will need to order a replacement, If I can get the movement working correctly. 


All this lot of watches stripped down and ready for cleaning.
