Hi Rolliefanatic,
congrats on your Ref 1680 - looks good and the price is stunning!
I purchased a Ref 5512 via Puretime (I know a lot of TDs are selling 5512 but I think these of Puretime (and also Trustytime etc. are selling those) are one of the better factory reps of 5512/5513.

However I already aged my bezel and I am very happy with it - now the dial and hands need some aging too.
Do you have any advice on getting the dial and hands safely out of the case? Did you mod in the past or was this also your first removal?
Any hints would be much appreciated.
BR,
The Controller
