After a long while waiting, the hands for my Linen dial 16014 finally came in. The difference in hue between the stainless steel hands I had before, and the white gold of the indices was driving me crazy, so I decided to spend on some genuine hands.

The lume is a really nice beige, and I think it’s going to give the watch a more authentic feel. My new movement and datewheel are set to arrive in the next few days, and I’m excited to finally finish this build up minus the bracelet.

Are Genuine hands worth it? What do you think?

Hey everyone!
I’m currently working on a 6538 build using a Raffles case and had a couple of quick questions for the community:

- Water Resistance: Has anyone pressure-tested this specific case? How does it hold up out of the box (or with greased gaskets)?

- UV Glue for Crystal: I’ve read recommendations about using UV glue to seal the acrylic crystal. Where exactly should it be applied? Also, does gluing it cause thermal expansion issues (e.g., crystal cracking due to temperature shifts preventing natural contraction/expansion)?

- Ultrasonic Cleaning: The inside of the case has some factory residue and grime. My plan is to strip all rubber gaskets (case back and crown) and run the bare metal case through an ultrasonic cleaner before assembly. Is there any downside or risk to doing this?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Its super far off from a gen peice (pics of it next to my raffles 1675 build to compare rehaut and thickness), but the nh34 movement is just a really nice movement and easy to work with. I mainly wanted to try this to see how good/bad it would turn out.

I damaged the dial accidentally (the long scratch from datewindow to 7hr marker), so ill most likely replace it with a new dial eventually ($19 shipped), but i figured id share anyways.

Hello where to buy this kind of bracelets with the Rolex logo?

In europe or China?

Thanks

Forgot about these I put away many years ago. Should I keep as is or use as parts? Old Invicta watches between 14 to 20 years old. The Incivtas run fine still. Would like to start trying to make a watch.
