WTB: Pulsar battery spacers

[Majestyk]

Looking for a decent price on a pair of spacers. The shipping on ebay is too high. I'm in Canada.

Thanks!

Mine ARE the best out there...unfortunately, I have no control over postal rates. Most of my foreign customers buy multiple sets, to defray the per-set cost of shipping.

I've always just made my own from a piece of clear rubber tubing, does exactly the same job.

Me too, not much to look at but they do the job, and do battery spaces really need to look sexy?

You can also stick pennies in a fuse box...that works, too. And yes, when I open up a $500 or $1000 timepiece, I expect to see something other than some cobbled-up piece of stuff bodged in there...it's an insult to the watch. As a collector, it's something I would never do, out of respect for the quality that Time Computer, Omega, and Hamilton invested in their products.

To try to tell us that pretty looking plastic spacers do any better of a job than a simple slice of rubber tubing is an insult to our intelligence (Imo).

the pretty looking plastic spaces just look like clear plastic tubing cut into sections to me

Oops I thought those were rubber tubing, but yeah like you said they look the same anyway. In over 10 years of collecting LEDs I don't remember a single person ever asking me to show them the inside of a watch.

The clear ones are horrific - I wish I could treat my Pulsars to some nice professional black ones

You too can have the "professional" and beautiful black battery spacers for only $9.00 US + $4.00 shipping. No handling charge either!

The tubing usually fits the battery tight, the battery hole loose. So they can bind.
The tubing is usually too short to help prevent tipping of the battery, so contact becomes dodgy.
My custom turned ones slide on the battery like a well-lubed virgin.
They fit the battery holes only moderately loose and have a nice bevel/chamfer at the one end to effectuate not binding on the radius in the negative-down hole.
The height is just right to let the battery poke out about .5mm while preventing much tipping.
Tubing isn't terrible, but a close to perfect fit is better.
I think Bruce and i are justifiably proud of our products - although, I contest his assertation that his are the best.
MIne: $6 on ebay, free USA ship. $4 on my site but flat shipping of $8.
