+1. Should last forever, basically.

Plus I like the one you have now, better. @kaizo

I think I'll stick to this one then. Thanks guys.

For the sake of my hological education does putting a different pair of hands put the mechanics off balance or is the motion independent of the hand design?

And @tifosi thanks yeah I think older watches has a certain charm that the recent incarnations has lost.

 

[TheWraith]

Yep, you have a great watch there. Take care of it and you'll get a lifetime of use out of it

If you put hands on it that are 10x the weight or something, maybe. The weight does matter. It takes more torque to move them.

Yeah I had a feeling it wasn't straight forward as switching the hands out. I think I will leave designing to the experts. Its a shame less and less watchmakers use the Mercedes hands now its a nice classic design.

Just googled them their 'ocean one' looks very much like my Tag (Or closer to Rolex Oyster I think).

@ellsbebc congrats! Any hints on what it is?

^ Steinhart are mostly Rolex homages, but they're good quality. I have their Ocean GMT variant as my daily beater.

A staple in any watcher collector's arsenal. It can be a polarizing subject in regards to which model to own.

Staple so can't be Patek... I know we mentioned it already but Rolex or Omega is where I'll place my chips.
