I always keep myself around 38-40 mm for my wrists, but sometimes you come across some nice things that maybe just a size is too big but are nice to wear, like this one ..

Decided on no crown guards for a Friday. Tough decision though...

Thanks for sharing. They look very smart. I like the idea of the 42mm in this style..... Should make the modern day crowd happier. I prefer the 40mm size myself.

Accuracy of movement is about +7sec/day, but i will bring it to our local watchmaker to adjust / reoil it and test for waterresistance, because I want to use this watches for snorkeling. Whole experience with Puretime is simply awesome. I use UK reshipment to central europe, and it takes only 7 working days to arrive to my house. Puretime agent send me QC pictures which you can saw here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/T31Xwr15x9okHY4M2 Here are some pictures of arrived package: https://photos.app.goo.gl/hOMuTenV3Tz4yPhV2 And here are watches on my hand: https://photos.app.goo.gl/xylOCtGyPtEXmGtF3 This is a superrep watch and it is noticable on whole material processing quality. I must say that guys in ARF factory makes very good work! There are some shortcomings, but it is not essential. Here they are: - no AR coating on the sapphire glass, nor on the inner side - first letter on sign "SWISS MADE" isn't aligned correctly - no waterresistance to at least 100-200M from factory but I will test it soon and let you know So buying of this rep is highly recommended especially from Puretime.

at the moment with my 14270... 1. I swapped a SH 3132 movement into it 2. I installed a vietnam oyster bracelet with a 7 hole micro-adjustment clasp 3. I am waiting for a replacement crystal to arrive (since I used the existing crystal on another build for my friend) Thanks for the tips I noticed that LF factory used to make classic 162xx datejust with SA3135 movement... But i believe they sold poorly (because nobody seems to have it lol!) and they were soon discontinued https://ts-station.cn/goods.php?ProId=14857

That is my grail build! I am 'pompompurin' on RWI and i wish i could obtain your rare 3135 datejust case for other builds.

The MQ hands look pretty good, never used them though. ST has good quality hands for 3035/3135 at about $15 a set. Hand installing BS: Hands are usually damaged during installation by handling them with tweezers and/or by the pressing tool used to mount them. Many old timers simply pushed them down with tweezers...one slip and you might kill the hand and/or dial. I try to handle them with Rodico and use a Horotek hand press or pencil type hand press with plastic tips to mount them to prevent damage. Using a piece of thin clear plastic from a plastic bag etc between the hand and the press tool also helps prevent scratches. If the hands are mounted level and you still need to raise one slightly (by bending) to prevent contact, cut a piece of paper about 4mm wide and 50mm +/- long and bend it in a 'U' shape to lift the hand, being careful not to crack the luminous filler. To lower a hand by bending it, use a dowel or pencil hand tool padded with a soft material. Bending hands slightly for clearance is common. Many times hands will not fit (oem and aftmkt) and need to be broached or closed. This is relatively easy to do but requires a steady hand, a few simple tools, and some practice so I will skip it because I bore everyone enough as it is.
