Beautiful ilum shot! Remember never to charge the indices using led light. It's actually harmful to the watch.

agree that sizing should be done by svc ctr or 3rd ppty if not confident or 1st timer on this.

i size all my watches by myself except for my Rolex. i feel it is very easy for the screwdriver to slip and if the screwdriver head is too small may also mark the grove of the screw.

Any idea how much is the a V series Exp 1 worth in the mkt now? The one in my avatar?

[skydweller_sg]

Would let rolex center do the sizing

Actually the links quite easy to change, they use screw-in type ( unlike Omega ). Yes like other bros said, correct size screwdriver, slow and steady, can DIY easily.

Yup,u just need the right tools and u're good to go!Basically anybody can do it,(exept for those with really butter fingers and a weak heart..heehee.)
It doesnt take rocket science to change the links. ;P

dear all,
sorry, I'm a newbie, got a question:

If I get someone to help bring back a Explorer II for me from overseas, where should I go locally to get it sized to my wrist? should I:
(1) bring to any neighbourhood watch shop? safe to do so?
(2) bring to one of the ADs? will they entertain me since I didn't buy the watch from them? if they do,what is likely to be the typical cost?
(3) bring to RSC? what would be the typical cost?
(4) do it myself? I think not lah....

Thanks!
