WOW !! I'm new to TRF and I just found this thread which is going to get me into serious trouble with the Mrs haaa !! I'm only on page 10 of 38 so please forgive me if the answer is in the next 28 pages !??! Whenever the Mrs comes by I need to close out TRF or I get these dirty looks from her haaa !!?? So it'll take me awhile to go thru the entire thread !!

I have a 14060 which I love but I'm very interested in getting a red second hand but have no clue where to get this and if anyone in the NY/NJ area knows of an independent dealer who would do this mod for me I'd greatly appreciated the information. TIA !

Welcome to TRF Joe! Contact member ViperB for the YM red hand. I got mine from him (with green lume) for my 14060M.

Thanks! You know, I can't recall where I got it from. I probably got it as a gift from my buddy who knows that watch related items are always a safe bet with me.

Love this mod ! ! ! Always considered a red YM second hand on my 14060M, thinking I may finally pull the trigger.

Has anyone put a red hand set on a black or white SS Daytona? Would really like to see pictures of that modification.

Another very nice mod indeed. Rolex movements aren't as flashy as others, as they're not really meant to be seen, but that's quite nice.

How hard is it to go back and forth on the bezels? How does it attach to the base? I love the look of that.

Bezels are a 5 minute swap by a qualified person. It is a direct replacement for a stock bezel.
