Venturing into this side and had questions

so I have a e25 crystal press. For swapping the crystals on the raffles builds and others such as 1016/16xxx/1675 etc I need a deep die for them correct? And if so what sizes?

Also if anybody has 3d printed one and would possibly share the file I’ll love you forever hahaha.

I’m about to embark on this journey and do a raffles 5513 this upcoming week. And figured I see people always swap crystals so may as well do it before I build it.

Also do I need a bezel removal tool ones looking at one from Ali express but need to know if any are okay from there.

I think that and the correct does are my last tools I need for a good bit.

The one that got me into it all

So my wife actually asked me what got me into liking more retro older watches and the design of it. And the simple answer is this beat to fuck 1601 from the 70s I believe, that my grand father wore every day.

I remember seeing him gut a fish after a long day on the river and it be covered in fish guts and scales then drop it in a bowl of degreaser when we got back home.

Also it dosent work but maybe someday it will.

Just figured I’d share it with yall.

Also oddest thing I realized it’s date is stuck on the 2nd which also happens to be the day he died.

Dial aging update.

Did the raffles dial for my seamaster 300 build. Was scared shitless but hey I think it turned out decent.

Used sand and light sand from tamiya kit then a few coats of ts80 matte clear.

I’m waiting for new hands as when removing the minute hand folded.

But all in all pretty happy for a first try. Maybe next time I’ll try some texture does anyone ah e any tips for that?

Help with crown guards

Does anyone in dfw do crown guard reshaping on raffles cases?

I can do the rest of the build just never reshaped and honestly at this point it scares the shit out of me.

Watchplaza with the absolute worst customer service ever

So. I placed an order after a few days got a email hey it’s out of stock it’ll ship when it comes back. I immediately asked well how long will that be. Nothing. 2 weeks go by no response to my emails. I made my post about it. And emailed again. Nothing for a week. Filled with my credit card.

They followed up today finally saying due to personal reasons they were closed. I said that’s pretty shitty service blah blah blah then said I was excited to use y’all but can’t trust them.

Got this email as a follow up.
