I've been wanting to switch out pocket watch faces with my own designs and finally decided to give it a go! It was a much more difficult and meticulous process than I thought it would be, but here they are! The designs are my own, the pocket watches are new (quartz movements) and working! I am going to be listing these in my shop [link]
If you're interested in a custom design, let me know. I can make one with any of your photos or art, or one of my own images. If interested I'll show you what pocket watch styles I have available in stock
Wow!!! this isss soo beautiful!!! i recently purchased a bunch of pocket watches and have been trying to remove the frame, all i got was deep scratch lines across one.. i didnt dare try it on the rest ...
Thanks for the tip!!! I actually really need to try and remove the frame because a needle got loose and the seller wouldnt give a refund.. The ones i got are new watches, they look like the one u have on the right! i did try going at it with a needle, but it wasnt thin enough and ultimately all i got was a deep shiny scratch i will attack it with a blade now
You just gotta slide a thin blade into the crevice where the backing attaches to the frame, it should pop right up with some force! (but of course be careful not to slice yourself)
You trying it on new pocket watches, or vintage ones?
