I made a replacement push button for Tag Chrono.

I just recently made a replacement push button for Tag Heuer Chronograph because this part is hard-to-find and the key to these successful job is my two lathe machines, the watchmakers lathe and my mini lathe. The material that I prefered to use is a stainless crown seen in picture and made a special cutter to cut the inside of the crown that will make it fit the Tag case tube. I also made a special attachment so that my small collets could be used with my mini lathe. A perfect idea that without this tools I could have not done this difficult  repair.

In this last two pictures, can you tell which one is the replacement that I made?

Making my own collet.

When my new mini lathe arrived one of the project that I've tried is the making of my own collet for my watchmakers lathe. Here you can see in the pictures from start to finish.
