freddy333 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 It is generally easiest to buy a rep that contains the movement & date wheel you need & just transplant it into your case. However, if that is not an option, try here (they have 2 datewheels in the middle of the page) or search ebay or, if you feel lucky, try rolling the dice with Mr. Slimeball & see what you get.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 he doesnt sell the correct datewheels anyways, and the quality of his ETA hands are highly suspect. anyone have any feedback on the quality of them? i'm now looking at the clarks ones which look better proportionally and are also sharper looking, as for the datewheel i might just transplant, save some $$ since the Canadian dollar is NOW going down the toilet.

freddy333 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Gary Clark is highly recommended. Good stuff, fair prices, prompt delivery & honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdavis Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I've ordered hands from Fasil (a.k.a. Mr. Slimball) for a Datejust. The minute and hour hands are passable however, the second hand doesn't measure up. The shape lacks the roundness of the genuine and the length of the short blunt end isn't correct. I found near perfect set at Borel for about the same money. They also offer good sets of Mercedes hands for ETA movements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
