I think they are omega hands, I bought a hand lot and they were in the mix. if you can but my the seconds hand for 1k that’s a bargain, last I heard handsets are 30k .

I’m set on my hour and minute for sure seconds hand I’m not sure. ignore the dial, just to show distance to track accuracy .

Hands and insert always bother me too, I have so many sets of 5517 hands . I like the dial, looks good

Nice man, i should finish my 5517 build and put one of these on, looks great

Happy New Year Gang!

Has anyone actually bought anything from Yuki recently ? A lot of folk are saying they are on responsive.

Caseback looks dubious, looks laser engraved on the outside, and the inside markings are not the right font. Plus the engravings on midcase are also iffy, E for example is wrong. Movement looks fine.

Even service prices are getting silly, $250 a service crystal on vrm, I’d rarther buy a new MY one.

Happy TG fellas

You can pick up emery boards for cheap from ofrei, casker etc, if you’re on a tight budget, they work well.

Great work mate that dial is awesome!

Quick transformation by RJ, looking good!! I like the 5510 style dial too, enjoy it mate

After a little research I found out that Rolex made the 1530 in a few different variations, it's stated by a few that they made a 17 jewel 1530 for the American market to avoid import duty, the only difference I'm aware of is the auto mechanism which has bushings instead of jewels, which makes no sense to me as these "jewels" are not classed as precious stones, so who was kidding who, or am I completely daft? Why would that effect import duty so badly? Also I've seen quite a few of the 1530 caliber disassembled and never ran into one with the train bridge engraved and can't find any other internet pictures of one. Why engrave the plate 17j when it's the auto mechanism that's the jewel count difference? Bleh im confused Or missing something? hoping someone can explain

Nice

Best wishes mate..
