[QUOTE="stracci, post: 2053766, member: 13814"]I didn't want to barge in on [USER=5006]@kyratango[/USER] 's Kyratisation thread! I found this 800 silver Swiss watch on eBay for only $10. I couldn't just leave it there, all alone and sad! I had to rescue it. Chipped enamel, no crystal, broken hour hand, tarnished, not working. So I removed the tarnish, and fabricated a new crystal from the lid of a plastic gem jar. I beveled it with the Dremel tool and a hand file so it would snap into place with no glue. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the watch to work, but it will be a pretty pendant. Before:[ATTACH=full]249342[/ATTACH] After: [ATTACH=full]249343[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249344[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
