Dials & Contrasting Hans
Dear Guys,
I saw thee post about the search for the 2526 crown. So here is another search question. We often see poeple who are buying a second dial for their watch - a balck dial for a 5004 comes to mind. Now, the problem is you need 4 contrasting hands - for the black dial you need white hands for the split second (2) and one each for GMT and leap year. SO where do you findt hem? Can you buy them somewhere on the internet? Will HSA sell the 4 hands to you directly.
Now, if you send the watch in to HSA to change out the dial, or do they send it to Geneva. Will they send it back to you after the swap with the changed out dial plus your 4 original hands? Or do they try to control the situation by sending back only the changed out dial? Does anyone have experience with this little problem?
Thanks,
Rollin

Game of changing the dials
By: AFK : August 14th, 2008-14:16
Years ago I somehow jumped into the game of changing dials with one of my UNs. During a visit to the AD who sold me the watch, I told them I regret that I ordered the watch in black dial because I didn't know it was also available in silver guiloche. They...
