Thread: What to do when a watch is far too big for you but...

  1. #1

    What to do when a watch is far too big for you but...

    ... you like the design...



    Yes, I've turned a 47mm MM into a desk clock. (The front is raised a bit by 2mm across the bottom lip because of the way I've designed it.)

    I am very pleased with the finished item mainly because I am as practical with my hands as a chocolate teapot.

    Lots of pizza, and lots of ice cream. About 8 months should do it.

    Best wishes,
    Bob

    Ouch. Doesn't the growth of unwanted palm hair concern you?

    Useful for sweeping sawdust off my my desk after building the watch stand.

    Try to find the 40mm, RXW MM10 instead.

    Been there :?

    Sold my Italian and another way-toooo-big watch even though I loved both of them. It's hard, but if it looks silly, sell it.
    I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
