Looks great.

I have always thought a bit of red looks fantastic on a watch. I have quite a few that do and think they look amazing.

I had never really thought about modding a watch until I found this forum, now my mind is imagining all kind of ideas. This is awesome, thanks for the great ideas.

Old post, old thread...I know that is sometimes frowned upon.

My query though, is whether or not this is possible (red second hand in Exp. II). The 3135 and 3185 are similar movements, so would the second hand from the TOG work in a 3185 equipped Explorer II?

This post is old but I'm hoping for some help. Had a "watch guy" tell me a Yacht Master second hand wouldn't work on my 16610 Submariner. Said it was a different type had?? Yours is a 116610 but I know I've seen other photos on the web of 16610's with a red second hand. I'd think it had to be 40mm Yacht Master hand.

I want to replace my DJ existing seconds hand, with a red one as you would see on the TOG model. With the blue face and roulette date wheel it will look great. I would like to order the hand in advance to minimize down time ad have an excellent watch maker and AD replace it.
