Just dropped some Gen hands in.

Gen dial, hands, crown, insert,date
JF bezel
EBay case
VRF sub bracelet
Stupid gmt bi direction click spring was always soft and mushy feeling, even tried bending it a little, so went with a sub spring and much happier.

I did a couple of things to this one

A recent spray mod. This came out out great, the most uniform and even fill I've done. Excess paint was removed by hand with thinner on a taut soft cloth. Special attention given to the triangle with a razor blade. It's challenging but not impossible to prevent ANY contact of the thinner cloth with the fill inside the cutouts, especially at the triangle. Thinner contact will dull the fill and ruin the effort. Though it is usually possible to redo just a damaged cutout by taping off everything else.

I repainted and relumed the hands on this one too as they were off a shade.

I really liked the first one of these San Martins I modded so I did another one. San Martins are amazing quality for the price.

The second dial came with some crooked 12 and 6 markers (arghh) but I reset them. I tried some different hands on the second one but didn't like any so I used the same ones.
