One of my weaknesses. Pics please when you can…
Can you recommend me an free image sharing site?

I use imgur now. Set the folders on private so it’s only shared by you sharing links / folders.

I use a round file to do this. The problem is that with the ETA movements the mounting screw can screw down all the way to the pillar (base) plate and on the older Unitas movements it can't due to the extra material in the spot marked in red. The modern Chinese cases are designed for the ETA versions of the 6497, not the Unitas. It's a small difference and not hard to fix.

I also do this.
