SSD case + gen SeaDweller dial inbound, need hands

[sneed12?]

I have a spare ETA movement + BK datewheel overlay ready to go into the watch, but I need some hands that will stand up to the gen lume. ETA hands are easy enough to source, but are there any that come pre-superlumed? I emailed BK to see if he has any WM9 left, or any spares of the superlumed hands from pbdad, but if anyone knows of any other source I'm all ears. I haven't been able to find any Tudor hands for what I consider to be a reasonable price, unfortunately.

Also--I'm thinking of trying to reduce the wokkiness of the case. Not sure if this is a good idea or not, I will have to carefully measure stuff before I go for it, and it would definitely be a by-hand mod, way too easy to mess it up if I do it with the Dremel. But I think that if the gen dial is a bit wider than the rep dial, especially the diameter of the minute track, then I could trim/straighten the rehaut of the SSD. What does the braintrust think?

Also--failing a source for superlumed hands, what hands should I buy to send to RSH or pbdad? Yuki?

Send the hands to rsh, he is a good folk and a good lumer.

I have some of these, and they are as bright as gen right off the bat. PM me if you'd like them and they're yours.

I used these on my FrSD http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hands-ETA-2824-2-White-Rolex-Tudor-Submariner-/250883546596?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a69d31de4
R2D4 recommended them.

The circle looks a bit big on the hour hand but not sure if that is what gen looks like, I must admit, reluming hands is super easy compare to a dial, send it over sneed and I will take care of the relume with super bright lume. On the wok aspect, I think it is a bad idea. I have a wok case I can send and you practice on that first

My SSD w/ Gen dial, WM insert and above hands for reference.

I need to sit down an take some better pics of her. Good luck on your FrSD Quest sneed.12!

May just have to get one of these. No cases came with drilled lugs?

No, but several members have had the lugs drilled.

I completed this build, btw, there's a thread about it.

Cool. I think I know(RWG)

Would those hands be correct(flat) for the SSD?
