FA: traser watch - good for jewelry project because of tritium light generators
I know some of you folks make really cool jewelry - I put a Traser
watch up for auction on e-bay - the watch doesn't work (of course you could fix it, it has a standard movement), but another cool use would be to disassemble it and collect the small glass vials that are filled with tritum and lined with a phosphor - they glow pretty brightly (you can read by the light from the watch if you are fully dark adapted) and so they ought to be useful in a jewelry application of some kind - there are 16 total tubes in the watch (one for each hour positoin, one on each hand, and one more on the rotating dial). here's the link if you are interested (well, actually, here's the link whether you are interested or not) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5050894444 If someone from the group here does get it, I'd love to see pictures of what you do (unless you just fix it and use it, in which case I already know what it looks like) |
