A Different Blue Manta Ray !

Whats wrong with TRF? I couldnt log on for a few days!

TBH, before swapping in the hands from a Samurai Ti, i was thinking of using the Sumo hands instead. The reason why i dont think the Sumo hands are suitable is because of the colour. If u take a closer look at the Sumo hands, u'll notice that they are milky white in colour with a tinge of GREEN! If u swap this set of hands into the Alba, it'll be pretty obvious that the hands dont belong to the same watch.


The hands from the solar diver may be a better choice but u'll have to check if the hands are interchageable. AFAIK, the hands from a quartz movement are not interchangeable with the hands from an automatic movement. Here's another alternative (though i'm not sure if the colour matches):






I'll be looking forward to some pics of your customised Alba diver once u are done with it. Meanwhile, here's a few more pics of mine ...

OR....even better...... the hands on the new "solar" diver SBCB013 look like they may be exactly the look i want....but they have just launched,i probably would not be able to get them for a while.

That OEM ss has weird endlinks...not flush with the lugs!!!!...


Thanks for setting the bar so ridiculously high!!!
