Really good work bro, the result is quite nice.

I can recommend to you the tool below for crimping hands collars. I use it a lot even on correct size collars after they get stretched from repeated removals and reinstalls. Just find a slightly smaller hole, place the hand and gently squeeze. Perfect crimp in seconds, no damage.

That sad that bivintage hands need an adjustment, they are nice and relatively cheap, I like the second hand really sharp, not rounded as other supplier

my current 1675 project. Target is a RCG long E
gen crystal, retaining ring and bezel installed.
still need to install the gen crown and better datewheel. Also have gen bracelet and gen long E dial but will not cut the feet. also have a 1570 + GMT conversion parts lying around, maybe with the gen dial worth a try. but then i need gen hands.... never ending story...



or with black insert

I'm also on a mission to complete a Long E or Mark II, but I keep screwing up my hz 6460 movements. Decided to mock up the movement holder, clamp, and screw fitment with parts I already damaged.
-destroyed BiVintage insert
-scratched Raffles dial
-broken movement and scratched crystal

I'll switch out all the parts once I get the stem length right, but I just needed some motivation. After a few years of no issues, the keyless and date wheels on the HZ6460s have come back to haunt me with a vengeance
