Better to the watchmaker.

Your exactly right JJ.
He would need experiance, and the correct tools to do it correctly. I have done it a few times in my 3 years at the jewelry store, but it was a true learning experiance each time. The watches are very delicate. That's how to do it, but doing it without leaving a trace is the trick. I would start with several junk watches before starting in on my Rolex collection. Plus the price of the correct tools is more than paying a watchmaker to do it. |

You will do the best work on your own watch!
Try it, and you'd be like a brain surgeon! |

How about taking a watchmakers course? They used to advertise those in the back of magazines.
Definately try it on some cheap fakes first and buy all the necessary tools. Kudos on your enthusiasm! |
