My mods to black smp--gen face & hands

Or it seemed big to me.

Alligned the bezel, and them installed gen face and gen hands on this ETA version--where the origional hands were quite short.

Actually, the rep dial was darn close, but a the dial markers looked a bit too greenish in daylignt, and anyway, now the lume has gone from good to exceptional.

Gen dial is a perfect fit (except dial feet are too short to reach the holding levers on the ETA movement (the rep dial had long feet and was fitted to those holders expertly--it was really well assembled), but the gen dial feet fit into the foot slots perfectly, so no issue there. Date window is right on.

Rodico, toothpicks and post-its were all put to good use--the post-it approach to delivering the seconds hand to the post for the setting tool was a key for me--and having the right hand seting and removal tools, of course.

Thanks for all the info on this board.

My result:
