Nice pix Jocke.

New pins take care of some of the wear but I can also see some wear on the inside of the links.

Does this work only take care of half of the wear?

What a lovely little job to sit down and concentrate on....who needs jigsaw puzzles (or Rolliworks)?

Those dismantling/assembly tools seem beautifully made (who made them). Were they extremely expensive Jocke?

As usual, very nicely photographed, can't wait to see the finished bracelet.

I always wondered about those links that didn't have screws in them. Now I know.

Looks like a nice set of tools, and great pics too, thanks for sharing.
