Aaah Damjan, you don't know all the story... I had it, I gave it back to its owner after a while, because of these hands. Now, I think I can try to fix that, with a new set of hands from the Tribute.

Since they are linked to the same movement. I just have to remove the luminova and replace it with tritium, and it will look much better than it is right now.
Even if it is not very orthodox... But it will help me to wait for a set of proper hands, which will be suuuuuper long.
Now I have to convince the owner to give it back to me.
Sometimes, feeling the miss helps us to better understand our feelings. And how much love we have for things or people.
Best,
Nicolas

Hello All, I am not an avid watch collector nor well versed in the correct terminology, for that I apologise in advance. Sorry for the image quality, the iPhone is all I have. My wife has this from an estate and is seeking information on its value. This w...
