hendrixelixir Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hi all, Looking for a black ETA SMP (2254) with the correct length hands. None of the dealers I'm looking at have it. Planning to have the dial/hands superlumed, which is cheaper than going gen hands/dial, which will run about 190 or so. Might be worth it, though. You guys know where I can get one?

You guys know where I can get one? ---------------- I couldn't find it. I eventually bought the ETA version from Josh and am now buying gen hands and face to install, which should be the best, I guess, but expensive. I also bought the $108 21J version Andrew sells, and that is an excellent bargain version, with good lume, correct hand length and a/r on crystal. Also--the pringing/numbe size on the bezel of the $108 version is more accurate. The movement feels very solid so far, and has been very accurate. I've been wearing it for 2 weeks while deciding what to do on the ETA, and getting the info/confidence to install the hands/dial myself (which I'm going to do). good luck--and let me know what you find-- Riff Edited October 21, 2007 by riffram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffram Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) Here you go--on the right is my ETA now featuring gen face and gen hands, which I istalled this week--so you can use that as a reference. The origional rep hands are well made, but just as short as they look in the dealer photos. Still, the watch is nice and very solid--runs great. On the right is a 21J purchased form Andrew recently for $108--Hands are virtually right on in length, face is pretty good, although markers are more green in daylight than the gen, and markets are--as you can see here--a bit too large, especially at 12. here is a better shot of the ETA, so you can really see the correct hands and face.

PAMman Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I bought mine from PT and it has the correct length hands and the correct HE valve position.
