Mickey has hands!
I can finally finish my Mickey Mouse 1601! I found some black hands for a 1570 and they are on the way. :)
This project is a paean to all the folks who cringe at the thought an unoriginal screw on the bridge plate. Lighten up, life is short. When complete it will have an aftermarket crystal, aftermarket dial, aftermarket hands, aftermarket roulette date wheel. It will be a conversion from a TT to SS and from a fluted bezel to a smooth and will have a glass case back. |

Looks great Richard!
I own this dial already, and soon I'll be throwing it on a 116520 Daytona as well! Love Mickey...he's a Fat Rat!

all that hard fake work ... for a mickey mouse watch?
Richard - aim higher
You could almost fake a PN for all that work.... Nice piece though. I had a lovely MM watch many years ago and put it away for safe keeping. Still can't find it J |
