For a long time I struggled with trying to find a valid use for watch parts. Then we had some friends over for a barbecue. (That's quite a disjointed lead-in). They have a boy of 6 who was excited to show me his LEGO watch. Well hot dog, I ran inside to get mine! He had an Anakin and I had an Obi-Wan. So we had a watch-saber duel.
I had also grabbed my extra watch band parts, my studded bezel, and a 4x4 round Atlantis rock to attach to the bezel. I showed him how my bezel worked (his was not the studded variety). Then I circled my other watch band parts and dropped them over the ridge of the Atlantis rock. Wait a minute, how many of those would it take to wrap around that thing? A little experimentation and, voila!

| Steampunk Jeweler's glass? |
 |
| It takes 9 to wrap a 2x2 round |
Okay, how about something a bit larger?
 |
| And 13 wrap a 3x3 round. |
Oh this could be good.
