Erict719 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I remember seeing someone mention a modder from here can install gen hands on eta 2824-2. anyone knows who that is? I am planning to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I'm planning something similar. I talked to my long-time modder about it and his reply... "Seconds is easy, you only need to remove 0.05mm, the minutes hand is not too bad at 0.10, it's the 0.20 from the hours hand that is challenging, especially if there isn't much meat available. But, I can machine the hour wheel hand seat to gain room there." So it can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopy12 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I remember seeing someone mention a modder from here can install gen hands on eta 2824-2. anyone knows who that is? I am planning to do that If it's a vintage build, why not go with Gen tudor hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Ding ding ding ding!! Whoopy steps up to the plate, eyes the pitcher, scuffs the bag. The sun is at his back as he stares down the mound, crowding the plate. The windup... the pitch... CRAAAAACK!!!! And Whoopy knocks it outta the park! The crowd goes wild!

kbh Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 There's an old post here from Stilty describing how he put a set of gen hands on an ETA. It didn't sound too challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Its something I have been asked to do, so looking forward to the challenge. I have experience with making custom hour, and minute pinions for Vintage Pams, but this will be my first genuine Rolex hands on an a ETA job.

Erict719 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Tudor hands work for 16610?? Ssteel: I don't mind about trying this with you, but EU custom risk is very high. That's my most worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 The only time I have experienced issues with customs is when someone didn't follow my instructions on how to ship. Providing you agree, and follow my shipping instructions you will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjji Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) yes mate... my favorite talk : gen hands on eta mov. I asked it a long time ago. Gen hands make a difference in a rep.. i'm obsessed about it. I decided to give this project to Ssteel (Mister, excuse for my delay, but I was hoping to come out a good clones 3135 but it did not happen so).. Erict send your pieces to Steel, he is able to do this.! this below are my gen parts (new stock) for my franken SD... and I will fit this gen dial only if I can fix the hands.... for me the gen hands are spectacular (relief, brightness, thickness)...I detect the rep just looking their wrong stock hands..
