spookycord Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 So there is a lot of talk about shaving down the indices/markers on a 3717. What does this refer to? Are they too tall? Too wide? To long? Is there a reference to compare the gen vs rep? I want to ask my watchmaker to do this for me but a reference would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be removed easily and glued back after thinning them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yea, they're much too thick. The Zigmeister removed mine and reformed them out of super luminova rather than thinning them. He did a great job: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 They are too tall. Simply by removing them and replacing it with thinner marker will do the job nicely. Usually this is done when you are reluming the dial and hands: or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
