Really enjoying this piece. Hands don't look ultra white on mine, but maybe it's a v1. At certain angles the stem tube looks long, but change perspective and it seems just right. Pip is a bit off but not noticeable on wrist.

I too did the same "automotiveromance" mod using the same hands. as said it looks just like the v2 now. Wasn't too much hassle. Pics here:

I didn't think it'd bother me buying the v1 but yeah... it did... I'd rather have it too white than too yellow. helenarou were "friendly" with their tax declaration too.
Edit: so yeah massive thanks mate. You saved me from buying too big hands. they're bang on to size.

Nice! Wish I had the competence to do this..lol

It’s very easy if you’re in any way comfortable with using tools. You do need the proper tools and patience though. If not, any watchmaker can swap a set of hands in 10 minutes for you.

I'm comfortable with using tools, but don't have a steady hand and am bad with small parts..

Hi guys just received my watch, very confused of how to set the time on it. I’ve unscrewed the crown and I think when I turn it it’s winding it so it it manual wind? Appreciated if someone could help me out

I think my watch isn’t working as when I screw out the crown then it put to the time setting position it does not change the time and does nothing. Also when in the winding position it makes a winding noise one way and the other way it makes a unpleasant grinding noise. Any help? Thanks

After unscrewing the crown you're only in manual wind position. Click out the crown twice as there is a second crown position for setting the time.

I can barely see any difference, but certainly promising behavior from a new and as yet unapproved dealer. What's his website?

Rolorin why would you say unapproved if he is a TD here. Surely that automatically makes him approved.

Because he's listed under New/Probationary, ie not approved yet. Again looks promising from recent shared experiences, but still new to the game.

He will be moving to full TD status soon

Quick update on my watch, still don’t know if it’s broken, but I took it to my local watch repair shop to take out some links for me as I don’t have the equipment. Somehow when I got it back they changed it to the right time so either my watch works and I’m stupid or it was a simple fix ahah

Why didn't you ask them them if they could show you how to set the time? Also, you could have asked if they thought it was broken / not working correctly?
