Drummania Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Spec:JMB caseVietnam tropical gilt dialJK horological gold hands relumed and vintagizedSwiss ETA 2840 21600bph no-date movement (2 crown positions instead of 3) from Swatch I choose to get a polished version of JMB’s case. It turns out amazing and gives you the just-serviced look. Exactly what I wanted! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpap Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Nice job! Can I suggest looking at the hr6538 hands? They minutes hand is slightly longer and perhaps closer to gen.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for a sunny day...but even with bad garage lighting, true gilt is still mesmerizing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
