Nice Cy, I have nice gen pepsi and coke inserts with great patina FS if you're interested, http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/149858-fs-us-gen-rolex-parts-tropic-18-faded-gmtii-pepsi-coke-inserts-15xx-datewheel/
My 1665 died a horrible death being dropped on a tile floor -Zigmeister said the 2846 currently in it can't be salvaged. I've been reading that many of the 2846's out there don't have screw holes in them for the movement clamps. I was thinking a 2781 might be a good alternative, any thoughts? I believe the 2781 is also a higher quality movement.
Thanks!
al12, I have a pair of the vintage tone Classic Watch Parts hands that I think are the best aftermarket out there. They were mounted on my Gen until I found an old tritium set to repalce them -excellent conditon, PM me if you're interested. Below is a shot of the hands mounted, you can see they're very close to my tritium dial.
They're okay al12, the minute hand looks a tad wide and indices are too yellow, depending upon your budget you can find gen dials and hands on VRM if you keep an eye out. Here's my gen 1970 7016 for reference of the hands sizes.
