Hi guys!,

Been trying to find a way to store the spare links from my Navitimer world. The screws are quite small (super tiny) and the links can be lost quite easily.

After trying few things, I found that the best thing to do is to make stacks and keep 'em in a small plastic bag.

Here are some pics about what I mean.

Not bad. Some one on here made earrings out of extra links for their wife. I think it was Ron.

I've only had to remove links from one watch (Legende) - you have to be a real gorilla to need that full length, and my AD put them in a little bag that went into the box. They've stayed there ever since.

It was indeed Ron that had earrings made up - they look great and there are some pictures in a couple of Ron's galleries - I'm working from memory, but take a look in the Ladies forum.

I either stack the links as shown or stack/attach them so they look like a "mini bracelet". Then they go into a small plastic bag, and the bag goes into the bottom of the black Breitling leather case.
