Well spotted, Geo. The watch is a 1957 RAAF issue and I believe the hands are a different combination from the pre 1950s RAF issue. These hands are correct for the Australian 1957 issue but they are replacement hands and were replaced by a recent restoration done at the IWC factory at Schaffhausen. The original hands literally fell apart and could not be saved, though they did give them back to me for reference.

I also changed the bezel on the PO from Orange to Black as I found the orange a bit too loud for me and I rarely wore it, but since the change I love to wear it. I am trying it with a variety of straps and have some on order from Steveo straps. I will probably end up with going back to the bracelet, but fun rotating in the meantime.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍

      If you're seeking advice for your "Harvard GSD" MArch II application essays, I'd recommend taking a thoughtful approach. Reflect deeply on your experiences, passions, and goals, and tailor your essays to showcase your unique perspective and potential contributions to the program. As for resources, I recently stumbled upon a gret platform for essays, and I must say, it's been quite helpful. Their selection of pre-written essays covers a wide range of topics, and their professional writers can also assist with custom essays tailored to your specific needs. Check out their offerings here: https://essaypro.com/essays-for-sale. Remember, authenticity is key in your application essays. Good luck!

      For clarity and ease of testing, I redid that diagram, flipping the circuit to match the layout of the physical watch.

      Hello, Thanks for the reply. The old jewel will get pushed out from the "outside" which is the dial side. The new jewel will get pressed in from the inside (shown below) which is the movement side, correct?     And the old jewel and spring will get pushed from the is the "outside" which is the dial side. Thank you very much for the information. I will take out the KIF spring and save it. Will update when the new jewel is in place!   Regards, Joe

      It's a little circlip style retaining clip to keep the pinion from riding up out of position.
