The new markers fit the gen hands' lume very closely. This is a very fine modification, mate. How long did it take for him to complete everything?

thanks to my italian friend I called Domi which will replace the minute hand with the correct one that is larger.

Domi had put both of those gen because most beautiful (too good) but since we like to resemble more and more to Gen ................

I do not know if he will update the photos or I will return to the clock

hello

Looks good but you need a new insert now, it is cracked right in the middle of the triangle

It only takes a little bit of patience to remove the bezel- heat it up to soften the tape behind it and work it around till it comes out. If it's going to break anywhere, it'll break where the pearl sits. The heating process takes a couple or three times to go through with a hair dryer to loosen. Getting it out is easy if you take your time...

Check with Trevor about getting a replacement.
