GenTLe Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) If CHS means Chinese, it is like the Swiss one. Look my post in the Movement Q&A part of the forum Edited August 18, 2014 by GenTLe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww12345 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Chs means custom hand stack. Would it not be gen spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 OPS, sorry, I misunderstood. Anyway here you can have the answer: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/145523-chs-noob-gen-style-bezel-construction-gmt-ii-16710/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofi Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 the problem with chs hands is unless you are building vintage, new model hands are next to impossible to find. ive been looking for 116710 hands for around 2 years now. its pretty easy to find 16710 hands but 116710 has eluded me.

imajedi Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 CHS = Correct Hand Stack vs. ICHS = InCorrect Hand Stack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make some. You can use the regular ETA minute and seconds hand. You'll have to make the bottom two, but you can use a gen-spec 3185 hour hand for the bottom (cut off the too-skinny hour hand and glue on a maxi hour hand from an ICHS set) and an ETA hour hand for the GMT.
