Converting spring bars to fixed bars. Laser Weld, Silver Solder or something else?
Afternoon,
I'm looking for a bit of advice for an airbrained project I have somehow talked myself into contemplating :hopelessness:
Does anyone know how easy it would be to convert a case with drilled lugs (to take spring bars) to fixed bars? I would also like the lug holes 'welded' akin to that of the infamous Rolex Milsub. I don't want a perfect job and would actually like to see where the holes have been filled (I assume something like silver solder may work but I have no knowledge of this type of thing!!). I'm also happy if the case sides to be refinished / aged to some extent.
Does anyone know if this is possible and more to the point anyone who specialises in case work that would be willing to take something like this on without breaking the bank?
Thanks!
R
