Thank you Rebecca.
I accepted the job, before I knew what I was dealing with.
Ignorance wasn't necessarily bliss. >.<

Nice job David. Thank Robyn for the great pictures. What a great team you are!
Don't let the watch manufaturers see this pic-tutorial or they will discover they left some open space on the back. They might be able to get a few more trademarks or promotional information in that space in the future. I've done nothing but dodge text and screws on the back of watches this Christmas gift season. Of course, I haven't been dealing with any products over a couple hundred dollars.

The photos aren't Robyn's "finest" work, but when I said the customer was in a hurry, I wasn't kidding.
We debated if there would be time for photos at all, but because of the unusual nature of this job, I thought it would make an interesting story.
Turned out to be all of that! :-)

I wouldn't have touched that job with a barge pole - well done , brave man , great pics too , an excellent documetation.
If I was gonna do it , I would have come in at $250-400 for the time , effort and most of all , the risk.

Thank you Rodney.
I don't recall ever saying I use sound judgement in the jobs I accept. :-)
Guess I just haven't crashed hard enough yet, to keep me from pressing the envelope. >.<
There will no doubt, be more where that came from and I'll be sure to chronicle my exploits.

David,
Great job! You will remember this project for quite a while.
I am writing a paper for ARA that will describe several tips & tricks, so I will post it here as well when it is finished. I especially like to make a mold using hot glue for tough to hold items.
btw, Can I assume that this is the Lance & Sheryl that have recently broke up but remain more than friends? See more interesting all the time!

You're a much braver person than I...
My hat's off to you.

I appreciate the kind words.
Yes, this is the Lance and Sheryl you're thinking of. The watch was presented upon Lance's 7th win of the Tour de France.
