Star69 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 getting the right hands is not so easy - for me most importend is that they are curved older MBW style : cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 getting the right hands is not so easy - for me most importend is that they are curved older MBW style : cheers, Frank none of the rep hands seem to be right. none can get the size of the mercedes circle right on the hour hand. only clarks seems to, but the bottom of his hour hand has that awful square between the lume and the base. i used a combination of yuki hands (hour and minute) with a clarks second hand, trim the tip slightly and it matches up with my gen set.

FxrAndy Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 To be honest frank non of the handsets on his site look any good to me, the merc star looks to fat and the point to long and the metal suround to fat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
