Well done, Slay.  I know this took a LOT of time and expense, and we're honored to support your sales of these beauties.

 

My favorite part?  Look at the hours hands.  He even recreated the microscopic bevel around all the cutouts.    :notworthy:

Dang, I wonder if I could get away with these on a 1680 Red Sub?    :Jumpy:

 

.....except for the seconds that is.

As cool as the white seconds hand is, I kind of prefer gold :)

 

I see that it's gold on the underside.. do you think removing the white with some paint thinner would reveal a gold matching the other hands? 

 

I've found seconds hands hard to polish because of the little rivet holding the post so I'd rather not try unless you know what's underneath.

I’m planning to do the same for my project.  I ordered two handsets from Slay. I plan to remove the white paint on one of the seconds hand. Thinner except for the lollipop, I’ll likely do some light sanding to try to retain the lume.
