dluddy Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 @nelly - do a search and you will find an excellent tutorial By-Tor posted about the various GMT movements and how they operate. The seconds hand should be polished stell and in certain photos it does appear black. @Spookycord - NO real mod to the CG itself. Regarding the DSN hands.
