I saw this watch and knew I had to have it.  I finally picked it up today from the Post Office.

Yes he's a great guy.  We finished the deal in less than 15 minutes.  Too bad he had to let it go due to a medical emergency but it is an amazing piece.

I have another project for him.  I will post pics when it's done!  smile8.gif

one of the seiko parts sellers on the forums has the plongeur hands available in different colors as well as polished with your choice of C1 or C3 ...

http://www.pmwf.com/cgi-bin/SalesForum/webbbs_config.cgi?read=85774

C3 is usually closer to Seiko lume color.

then all you need is someone to install them!
