tomhorn Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm in the middle of a similar project and used TC's handset. I also bought one of Clark's, but TC's looked better when I had them both in front of me. You'll have to get them re-lumed of course. You could also search for a set of gen Tudor hands. I tried looking for awhile and gave up without success, but it's another option as Tudor used ETA movements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Tudor handsets are incredibly rare, terribly expensive, and indistinguishable from TC's handset. Wish I'd had the TC option available to me when I was putting together one of my Explorers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Yep. I was amazed to get the gen Tudor hands for my DateJust build at a good price, but could never find a Sub set that I could justify. My Explorer build is off with PBdad now ... can't wait for it's return. Edited April 29, 2014 by tomhorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypunch Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I used Clark's hour and minute hands and a Yuki seconds hand for mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
