Hi Ana.

Well, I gave it my best shot, but that memory wire doesn't like to be pushed along a flat surface, which the watch definitely has.  Even if you managed to get wire through all three holes (you'd probably have to use three seperate pieces), the watch would sit at a funny angle on your wrist.  

The next-best material I can recommend is Gossamer Floss -- it, too, is easy to slip on (even easier than memory wire, actually).

Good luck!

I'd like to make a simple watch using memory wire. I've not seen the three-strand watch 58-072 and am wondering if the memory wire can be strung through the holes on both sides (leaving the watch laying over the wire)? Or, alternately, if the wire will fit through the holes, would I be able to make loops to connect the wire to the watch?

Am I making any sense at all?  Basically, I want to attach a watch to three loops of memory wire to make an easy slip-on bracelet. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
ana
