A newb attempts to open/fix a Dollar ($) Progress Pocket Watch - fumbling ensues
Hi WTFers, I have stalked internet sites, bought beginners' tools, and acquired a spread of dollar watches over the last few weeks. Now I begin my new hobby - learning how they work & trying to 'service' them. The following is my documentation and photos from the first attempt - a cheap, non-running Progress Dollar Watch. This is a lengthy post....so Moderators, if this post is too long, too picture-happy, or unsuitable for these forums please edit or tell me as you see fit!1. I created a basic information template so that I could organize the information on each watch as well as what the heck I was doing to service it. For all of my watches I now just paste in the boiler and fill in the data.WATCH TYPE: PROGRESS USA Pocket “Dollar Watch”Year: (?) Size: 6 (?)

5164 travel time aquanaut on bracelet?
Came across a post with this picture a while back when I was oogling over 5164 pics and deciding whether to go for one (which I did). However, its just a grab from Instagram and no details...anyone know how easy it is to put a 5167 bracelet onto a 5164?Is it as simple as sourcing one and putting it on? Any conversions needed? Different pins? etc etcI'm much more a fan of the rubber strap than I ever thought I'd be (and admit it was a positive factor in the consideration to purchase) but I do like to change things up from time to time. Will seem like a different watch and no need to flip for another Orig post:.rolexforums/showthrea...=324902&page=2
