ubiquitous Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thanks for the kind words, one and all! I've really gotta say; if it weren't for Concepta sourcing the dial and hands, I think I might have had to resort to just buying the gen. I foresee this one going into heavy rotation, whereas the Daytona and the others might be seeing more of the watch box lid. I never realized how practical a day-date watch was until I started wearing some of these IWCs @delta- Looks like modelizer and Zig covered the question on this, but yes- The tubes on the hands are silver, and riveted to the hand. As Zig notes- Very functional, and it adds a nice finishing touch. The small details, eh? @techlogik- The day wheel is in German.

deltatahoe Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 @modelizer, ziggy & ubi, thanks for the info re: the hands. it's definitely in the small details if you ask me my goodness, what a beauty deltatahoe *PMs concepta about gen hands* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Indeed- The hands make for a much more aesthetically impacting difference than I had anticipated. The overall detail on the crisp, sharp edges and corners of the hands really stands out. Chief's amazing AR work on the crystal helps to provide even greater clarity to view these parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Wow Ubi...that is stunning!!! With the AR, it actually looks BETTER than the gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
