Glad I could help B.. Now mix and match those hands for the best final result!
If that was the case my obvious answer would be:
Carol= Candy
(I worked as a dance manager in '97-98 @ Tokyo's hottest gentlemen's club at the time)
I think you are right J. I too have a vague memory of a gal's name on my latest Yuki package..
But if the hands are for a 7032 there is a really quick way to determine if the set is from Yuki or DW by checking the chrono register hands.
Yuki: silver centre and flat tip
DW: black centre and pointy tip
Hey B! If it's hands for a 7032 (which I have a strong feeling that it is) then post a pic of the set or PM me. I'm pretty sure I can help you out with identifying them for you..
A quick search on fleabay gave this result.. Dunno about the accuracy or if it fits your particular case - but if it's fairly accurate and does fit, then you'd have all you need to make your watch complete again..
Never dealt with the seller but I know some members thinks he's a douche..
Correct. These are not hollow so the lume is applied on the back side that goes inside the insert.. So the lume is too far from the front/ top which makes it weak/ blurry..
+1
These has been around fleebay from time to time by various sellers and are absolute crap. Solid acrylic and not like gen construction at all.. No shortcut here - Ofrei is the way to go for aftermarket vintage pearls!
In the Rollie rep world the $300 watches are usually the top quality stuff (with "normal" dealer mark up) unless it's daytonas/ chronographs with reliable movements or frankens/ highly modded watches from members.. Keep reading and you will get the big picture..
I dunno if a welcome is suitable after almost 5 years - but a big thank you for supporting your forum is definitely in place!
Nice FM! What else have you gathered after all these years of "lurking"? Open up Sesame!
Thanks mate! I'm very happy with the result in this project, which started off as an old beat up MBW!
That 177 of yours is sweet! The lume is amazing.. Makes me want to expand the tiny PAM part of my collection..
The monster they caught connected to both terrible incidents yesterday had about 1-2 hrs of killing spree on a tiny secluded island full of teenagers without any chance of defence. The regular nut cases who does things like this commits suicide (or tries at least) at the end of the rampage. This guy wasn't even close to doing that and that's just pure evil in my book..
Stay strong neighbours and my deepest condolence to you all..
FxrAndy modded my old MBW 1665 with gen 39 crystal, gen crown, aftermarket tube and all new seals/ gaskets and it's been my swimming companion this summer. So it's definitely possible!
However, I wouldn't be extremely surprised if the quality of our beloved rep cases differs quite a bit, even between production runs by the same maker/ factory..
WOW! What a beautiful bunch of RWG Tudors..
@LHOOQ: Thanks mate! Just waiting for the new subdial hands to arrive and then I'll call this build a day!
@hackR: Happy to see it completed! Looks great buddy!
