forget printed stops

#1 Post by EYE C U » Fri Jan 14, 2022 10:54 pm

if your scope isn't a heat beast this is one way to go...

32mm watch covers from ebay and decals from ebay.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/224792508831

the fun part is centering the decals..
I managed with 2 bad eyes. probably easier for you young guys.

Watch glasses !!!
Thank you so much :-)
Only a day ago I was, out of frustration, punching holes in a 2 litre milk bottle top just because there was a 32mm diameter ring ready-marked on the inside of it

I order watch crystals of the correct diameter from eppinger.com. They have a very wide and very affordable variety and they ship quickly.
