Thanks

These should last me a few months then will have to make some more.

I have never seen anything like them other than on watch forums.

How do you make them?
Not very sofisticated I'm affraid. Nolar may have a better method.

Bought the cufflink blanks from ebay got 10 pairs for about £3. and a set of gold coloured ones

then looked for old womens watch movments removed the faces and various stems to make a flat surface.

was going to attempt solder/brazing but I did a bit of testing with glue and found one that works glued two blanks together and asked the kids to destroy the bond. They couldnt smile I tried and the brasing on the cufflinks broke first.

I figured that the glue was enough (and a lot easier).
