Hi all,
I am a first-time poster, but have been enjoying this site for some time now. I currently have in my collection my constant-companion SS Datejust 16030 that has been on my wrist almost every day for the 16+ years that we've been together (just a bit longer than my wife and I), and a recently acquired Tudor Prince Oysterdate that is gaining more and more wrist-time.
I am considering customizing, if you will, the Tudor by adding Mercedes hands, sort of like the Ranger, and was wondering: 1. Where is the best place to buy the hands; 2. How to ensure that I get the correct hands for the movement.
I really enjoy the Tudor. I just don't know too much about it other than it's heritage. It is a wee bit smaller than the DJ, but affords a more sporting look when I want to go more casual, which is why I want to explore changing out the hands. I've really admired the Original Explorer for some time, but enjoy my DJ just a little more, and the Tudor might fill in that want just a little.
Any input is welcome and will be appreciated.
Thanks for all of the information that I have gleaned from this site, too.
Here's some (not so good) pics of the fellas (borrowing a few concepts seen here):
