I broke the glass in the face of my favourite watch (I love the chunky leather strap) and was told it would cost more to replace than the watch did! I also have a digital casio (yay old school) with the worlds most annoying clasp, any wild gesticulating and it flies off .... so I used both unusable watches to make one FAB time piece.
I've made a Jesus watch before, using those beaded bracelets as a strap and I bought a watch face that had Jesus on ... might add it later if I can find it.

Instructions
You Will Need
- Project Cost

1
find your two watches ... one still needs to be working (telling the time) and the other needs to have a fab strap
-
2
Take the face off of the strap ... they are normally attached by pins.
I had some trouble with the pins on the broken faced watched so just snipped them (with a lot more effort than that implied) with some jewellery tools
-
3
But make sure you don't break the pins of the working watch face ... you'll need those to attach it to the strap!
-
4
And with a little more fiddly work, attach the working face to its new strap
...
et voila! two time pieces become one.
(and if you've noticed the times, I hadn't set it at the beginning, it didn't take me several hours, I promise.)
