Lovely, I wish you could get these (or something similar) new.
Like most things - it's a question of how much you want to spend -> but have you looked at the Tokyo 2020 LEs -

I'd like to convert a 3572.50 from 1998 (my son's birth-year) that I just bought for his graduation, so I'll be looking for a dial (maybe hands, although I have a spare set).

Even better, I would like to find someone who would want to trade a Mitsukoshi dial for a white Italian Dial (used for a week, documented here).

I also have a rare un-used Italian Grey hand set to go with it (I used black hands when I used the Italian dial for a week).

Thanks, I really like those as well but quite difficult to get in UK (and therefore expensive as you mention).

The straight lug mod is interesting. I feel like it wants to have the baton hands though.

Yup - have a set - but not yet confident enough to take hands off!

Pushers now installed. Not sure I鈥檒l keep it in the 2998/002 case - but am very happy so far.

Hmm, that's an interesting thought about the sapphire for this dial specifically. I'm not sure! I definitely like the hesalite, but then again, I always have. I never considered a sapphire speedy.

Here's another pic showing the whole watch more clearly. I never really liked the silver hands, so the Snoopy hands were essential for bringing together the look for me.

What a beautiful picture Man!! Congratulations!!
