Never tried dial dots, i always considered them as a bit of a bodge. You are adding something that was never intended to be there. I wonder how the adhesive reacts to any part of the movement, hot summer heat and i think things might turn sticky. Most adhesive backed stuff has a tendency to soften and slide around so it may spread, i have used a lot of so called sticks all adhesives in my industry that are just not up to the job. I suppose they get you out of a problem quickly, but how permanently might that be ? I would just explain to the owner that it may or may not work. WWs other ideas are a much more permanent solution but both have their risks . I've tried milling and dial feet replacements, hmm it was ok, ive heard of folk dimpling the face , so that needs care . And i have soldered a few times , all with good results but i am very careful and I practiced it a lot. -
Thanks very much watchweasol. A couple more dummy questions. What do you mean by 'cut block'? and to see if there is pulse on the chip, which contacts on the chip should I connect the multimeter? Many thanks -
It’s definitely a field that is not understood but is probably now the most important in manufacturing with the huge amount of automation and robotics being applied. Tom -

Absolutely WW , i know you speak for us all when you say this. So Mark, Old hippy, other moderators, the pros and the old timers, yes you especially WW. The ones that always help us out with advice, give up their time for us and never ask for anything in return. Cheers me dears. -
I have to add my thanks to @Mark for all he does here and his other site. It was Marks YouTube channel which got me into the track of the possibilities of repairing my own watches and servicing them. If I can help out at all as a moderator I volunteer wholeheartedly. Tom
