anyway the point is the tool is about $20, if you have a few bands to do
good, but if you only have one band it's a bit of a waste, it shouldn't
cost more than $10 to resize the band.


I don't mind buying the tool as you never know when you'll need them
and it's good to have the right tool on hand.

Do you know what it's called & where's a decent place to buy quantity
one?

yep either this one which will probably be fine with band on that watch
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=5004647 025
or this one which is a bit more versatile
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=5004751 962

first one will cost you $13 the second one about $21

(I'd never buy off of ebay though - it's 25% stolen goods according
to my friend's husband who is in the high tech crime unit of the police
dept).

yeah well you are being a bit paranoid, sure I suppose there would some
stolen goods on ebay, but in this case I don't think there is a real big
market in stolen watch tools, anyway its like anything, buyer beware,
you look at the feedbacks, specially what kind of feedbacks, buy from
high volume sellers with good feedbacks, I use ebay quite a bit and have
saved quite a bit of money in doing so, eg; I fly Radio control planes
or slope soarer's for a hobby, the last set of micro servos I bought
from ebay cost me $12 each, the same servo in the shops is around $65.

and I have bought this guy before for tools, he is quite good.


So if you know of a non-ebay source for this tool, of quantity one, for
about twenty bucks - lots of us would probably like to know where to
get a deal like that.

again I think its more than likely you will use the tool once and then
never touch it again, also if you snap the punch off in the band and jam
it then you are going to have a bigger problem.


there has to be someone near you that will adjust the band for $5-$10
