jigelow Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Da 'Goat sent me a set that, I believe he said, came from an old Silix watch. Interesting. I'll start the search there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Love these. Matt recently built my wife a silver dialed late 60's 1002. I think he used gen Tudor hands. Sent from my droptop using telepathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Those pointed hands came from an old Silix watch Oh for the good old days- that watch had a swiss 2836-2 in it and a nice 34 mm case. Only issue was the date window was right justified like an eta. It was a 6694 case but instead of being manual wind like the old Oysterdates, it was an automatic. I think I paid $110-120 for the watch. I ended up getting a MKII dial and hands and put a T-12 crystal on there- Sold the watch a few years ago since it wasn't getting any wrist time and wasn't WR- crystal leaked!

jigelow Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Very cool! Thanks for the tips. I guess if I can't find any hands, I can go 14000 (depending on dial and case) and use Tudor Oyster hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
explor_er Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Great work JB! You wouldn't happen to have any Air-King builds laying around you want to part with do you? I've been looking for a nice silver faced Air-King for my wife. They're hard to locate these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
