The one pic pic shows another option I have been toying with which is a DQG Hobi inside the area cutout for...
Hey, I have been in the mood to change things up a bit and I LOVE my SMART QUARK so I cut the body down a bit and am making the whole thing a better size for my tastes. The problem I am running into is that a 16340/RCR123 does not have enough voltage to run the light now. I must admit I didn't...
Also, I am a horologist (watch smith) and an avid collector, so if anyone has any questions or needs repairs or LUMING done, please ask and I will be glad to walk you through repair over the phone and such so you don't have to pay the high prices for high end watches.
