![]() I put one 'dial dot' on the movement, on a blank space, and mounted the dial. ![]() Line that up with the holes for the dial feet, and put a couple of SMALL dots of G-S cement to hold it in place. My movement also came with a spacer ring, to make sure the dial doesn't rub against the date wheel. So the dial feet-sticky things are kind of a belt and suspender approach. One of the cool things about the ETA movement is that it has little locks to lock in the dial feet. Now, I've never done this before, so I did some research, ordered up some 'dial dots' to get the dial to stick to the movement and go from there. These dials come with dial feet that match up with a couple different movements. had a nice green dial with silver accents to go with the stainless case. I swear, the only dial I could find that I liked, was one that said Rolex. I have an ETA movement, I could of put a black or white dial on it, but I wanted a green dial! to go with the green ring. I heard a rumor that ETA stopped selling their movements to the public, but ask around, you'll find one easy enough.

So, if I can replace a movement and a set of hands. At that point I changed the color of the second hand sweep from white to red. I broke the first second hand, and had to order another. I bought it from, figured out how to remove it from the watch, and transfer the dial and hands. I did some research, (very important) and found that the Swiss Army movement was available. I figured, ok, it doesn't work anyway, what harm could I do? (more on that later) I brought it to my local jeweler and he put a battery in, let it sit for a few days, hoping it magically would come back to life, but alas, no.
