I don't think my love for the 9411 is any secret And this is a fine specimen, especially after the hand swap!
A fine piece for a fine gent. Congrats, A!
Cheers!

Gorgeous 27, Z3k0! These power reserves with the arrow hand are quite nice, enhanced further with the nice CG and crown you've added.
Looks like a keeper to me!
Hmmmm... I haven't seen any quartz movements that perform in this capacity; at least not with seconds at 6:00. I've heard of mega quartz movements like the Omega 1310; I think these sweep pretty smoothly? Otherwise, movements like the Bulova tuning fork movements also operate in this manner, but I don't know that there are any with subsidiary seconds at 6:00...
This should be a fairly easy fix. The dials are simply glued to the spacer ring; should be a matter of rotating it to the point where it's aligned. The hands and/or datewheel might be off as well, however. Those may require realignment also...
You know you have a watch addition when you tell your wife she has a nice set of lugs
And you know she understands your addiction when she knows exactly what you mean...
Hmmmmm... I just pulled my 3719 from the watch box; feels pretty weighty. I don't have a scale small enough to measure the weight of a watch however, so I can't get you an approximate weight. But it's definitely got decent heft (at least to me).
I'll see if I can get this thing weighed over the weekend...
Is the 3717 on bracelet?
If I recall correct, I think that's pretty close to retail list price ($6k AUD = $5400 USD; I seem to remember MSRP is $5700 - $5800-ish USD?). Strap version is $4500 or so retail...
Secondary market, they can be had in the $3k range.
Hope this helps!

Make sure she's not too terribly rough with it; my wife has thoroughly demonstrated that ceramic cases can be cracked...

So, now we're on J12 #2... This time, she's only managed to crack a link or two.
