Making It Fit........The Bracelet.

[cyglee]

Ok, all you Macguver fans...
A few years back, I bought my parents matching Constellations (gold/ss).
In a pinch, I did not have a punch pin of the right size and length.
So, I used pieces of metal I cut from a good sized safety pin.
It has to be straight, large enough in diameter to be strong, small enough in diameter to fit the bracelet hole.
I supported the bracelet on small toy blocks, and held the safety pin pieces with a small needle nose plier and tapped the Omega pins and tubes out.
When replacing the Omega pins, I used the safety pins pieces as a set punch to carefully drive the Omega pins flush.

Gutsy in my early days... now I like Bergeon watch tools!
