Hi Guys,

I have that spare tired 105.003 dial in my stock.
Unfortunately it has no more feet.
Is soldering or gluing new feet possible ?
Thanks for the insights guys.






Cheers

 

Should be possible... http://watchguy.co.uk/how-to-re-attach-dial-feet-with-a-soldering-machine/ from a member here.

Once they're attached, then what?

 

Thanks for the link Oddboy!
Is this something a random watchmaker is able to do ??
How strong are the forces applying on the feet ? Strong enough to make soldering mandatory (no glueing ?)
Next step is finding everything around that dial to make a complete 105.003

 

Awesome!

I've heard that sometimes dials are attached with sticky pads, but I'd hazard a guess that soldering is more effective. I've never had either done, so maybe talk to someone who has done it? I think there is some negligible risk of damage to the face of the dial.. but really, you want to talk to someone who has done it.. maybe Archer, Horlogerie, Christian (who did the work in that link).
