Nice job Eric... next time you do a mod, take some pics during, so we can see what it takes to do something like that... tia... hand6.gif

Deal! It was pretty simple... unscrew caseback, release stem by pressing tiny button, and movement falls right out. Then with my fingernails, removed old hands..

I then put stem back in and adjusted the "time" til the date switched over...this was my cue to put on new hands at exactly 12 o'clock. Only tool I used was caseback opener.

PS make sure hands are not rubbing together or rubbing against glass or dial.

Hardest part was getting seconds hand back on... requires much eye-crossing and patience

Nice, I like the new hands hand6.gif
Hopefully I'll be doing the TZ courses over the winter, I don't have the guts to do that yet!

Cheers,
