then you should install cannon pinion and hour wheel. The cap thing looks ugle imo.

Wasting time and money fixing the recessed pin imo. Just handled a genuine 111h and it did not even cross my mind to look at the pin only the crown (which is not really that far off) and luminosity which is really bad

i have a large pin, but it doesnt mater, because the hands still need to be capped down a little bit (they are simply too long!)

You mean the tube is too long? I use a cutter to cut the tube and it fits perfectly.

I am with you on this, I find the recessed pin a necessary fix. I just got a really nice fiddy from Joshua and the only thing that bugs me is the recessed pin. IMO the recessed pin is worse than the poor lum. The only real fix is to get the longer CP and Hour wheel. However, even after that you need to file down the old hands. My preference is to get some non-capped hands from davidsen. His hands have great lum and having the hands lumed is probably more important than the dial. This week, I'm doing a davidsen dial and hands on my fiddy.

yers, but i'm afraid I will damage the tube or the hand if I use a cutter, because the cutter will press the tube and turn it from round to oval!

I see what you mean now, I've used the dremel to shorted the tube on hands. In a sense it was like turning rep hands into regular hands. I've done it a few times without any problems.

All my hands are done my machine .

I think it is very dificult to put a cap manually on your watch hands .It is very liley that you will damage it

at the end.

Pls take not that my hands for fiddy is us$30.00/set wtih free shipping.NOt us$50.

For us$50 you can get 2 sets from me.

Thank you
