ciccio Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi, if you need I can give you (gratis ofcourse) an original set on Tudor hands (I'm loking forward to see this project done !!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I guess this is sorta related, or wil be once I start building one of these. I found these hands on e-Bay and from some pictures I've looked at the hour and minutes hand should be silver, the seconds hand red arrowhead, and the chrono hands black - at least on a white faced model, correct? I suppose I could take the e-Bay hands, paint the red arrowhead and the little 'uns black and be pretty close. I could not find anything even close on ofrei or cousins... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400038110647&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Thanks, you and ubi are the greatest... I was going to buy the set I had linked to on flea-bay as I measured the a21j hands I've got and their "holes" were all too small... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciccio Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Are you sure the original set doesn't work ? Will be gratis !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I would think they should work as I believe the gen uses the Valjoux 7750 movement which should have the same size canons as the A7750, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 FYI- the 28800bph A7750 that I sent you has different size pins for the subdials and center stopwatch seconds than the Swiss 7750. You'd be better off procuring a rep set from one of our dealers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 So much for 1:1 copies, eh? I'll wait and see what Lani comes up for and if they are also for a gen movement I'll have to do that since the flea-bay set also specifies for Valjoux as well.

messenius Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Bump and a question If I want to build a 79160 (with tachy scale) with valjoux movement what case should I use? I have a prince date panda dial although oysterdate would be correct one for this ref. But I prefer 79160 case for 79260 one also I think it resembles older daytona case so should be more readily available. If anyone needs a case for this kind of project, I've got one waiting!
