    After a trip to the local jewellers, casebacks safely swapped. With a movement this lovely, it's criminal to hide the beating heart of this watch, although it did feel weird removing the 'Flight qualified' wording.... WP_20140806_12_50_45_Pro.jpg

    So, after too long, my most ambitious bit of tinkering yet. My first three register chronograph service - Lemania 1387 (Omega 681). My first replacement of a mineral crystal and I had to replace the hour recorder hand. The nearest Omega one was too light in colour so I had to mix 3 parts Humbrol 48 to 5 parts Humbrol 47 - that experiment took a few dummy runs. Also had to broach the Omega hand to get it to fit (another first)

    From this:
    Arsa 1.jpg ...to this:
    Arsa Wrist.jpg

    ...via this:

    I think it looks good on its new bracelet.

    Three fantastic incoming today!
    I could not wait to get this one on.
    All three watches have some very nice blued hands.

    I was told that the blue reflections are a photographic artifact from the anti-reflective coating on the inner surface of the crystal.

    Fantastic! Quite an accomplishment.

    How's the time keeping?
    Any tricks you want to share about setting the chrono hands?
