The air-master or maybe the yacht-king

I know the picture is terrible and there is a ton of dust on the watch. But I like the look. Legibility is vastly improved. The hands are very poor quality after markets. I just wanted to see if I liked the look and as I said I do. The fit on the hands was awful. I had to broach the minute Hand and the second Hand was unusable. But I like it enough to order a set of yachtmaster hands and make it a permanent change.

It gives it an Explorer look, which is not the worst thing.

If you like it, go with it.

Looks good to me; not original but sometimes that just doesn't matter.

Thank you , one thing I really like is that the legibility is at a glance now. Before in some light it was very difficult to tell which hand was which. Plus the lume should be good with originals hands.
