How lucky!?

[Robbie010]

Just thought I would share this......

I was tearing down a Dubois Depraz chronograph module today and lost two very tiny spring parts along the way only to then find that one had actually pinged off and landed in the dish I was using to collect the parts and the other had stuck to my spare needle nosed pliers.....

If it wasnt for these two big turns of luck this movement would be ruined.......

Anyone else had such luck!??

Yep. One launched and was found wedged in between tweezer arms the other in the folds of my shirt on my gut. Big sigh of relief.

No   usually they disappear from sight al together, although I did find one under my pliers,  If there was a raffle and two tickets sold mine would be the wrong one,  Just luckey I guess.   Happy Christmas.
