I think some old watches like this one have the two hands too similar (in length or width or shape).

Whole new case set.  See the correct style pushers!   Unfortunately the dial shouldn't say Oyster.  Can't win them all.  I may move this over to the case with screw down pushers.  But just put the silver bezel on it.

Hey Rich-

I have the same watch.

FYI you can fit an Omega orange hand, as well as running seconds hand (from the 321/821), which is available white with silver center. Length is perfect. The minute totalizer hand has to be broached slightly to fit.

Provided minute hand needs a slight trim, so the tip is in the minute track. It looks like you addressed the date wheel already...

Mine is in the pile on the bench... I dropped it and it stopped, so I probably need to reset the balance wheel.

700 crown is correct for this model. I also added replacement pushers from WO990 and a correct case back gasket.

Vietnam dial/hands/plexi.  Gen datewheel.  I didn't build it.  I'm not gonna touch it.

Its my watch now!  But no, I'd never even thought of one of these till I saw it M2M. 

I'd build one with the spare dial and hands I have, but I think the case is hard to lay ones hands on.

Oh, yes. Mine's a DW as I suspect yours is as well. Rocking horse poo / Hen's teeth these days. I did very VERY minor shaping to the case to match up with the dozen of photos I have for comparisons- it's spot on. The DW dial is more accurate print-wise, but colors are a bit off. All the other dials have the bottom of the date window/minute track interface messed up. I've been looking for a dial for ever and no one makes a perfect one.

It's an awesome piece however. Well worth the effort perfecting it.
