I down loaded the bin, modified it via hex editor, copied to a new folder in /files/watch_skin_local/ but it does not show up under local. Also, there is no .jpg or png or gif included when down loaded. So, I assume that may be the problem but do not know where to get the face gif. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply about right clicking the face and saving. I did that and moved the face and modified .bin to a new folder in local but it does not appear. What should I try now?

You can try to save GIF as PNG by using the drawing program of WIN system.
