Well as my boy Bestofnyc suggested this one needed a hand mod. I thought about doing all new hands but instead figured I'd try a little bit of a project. I ran to the Hobby Lobby and after the 40% coupon I spent a measly $1.07 for a little bottle of Testors Model Paint. I already had some doll maker's brushes. After I took it apart and slid a piece of paper under the hands to protect the dial and put 2 coats on. I have to admit I put a tad to thick of a second coat on the hour hand but I think I can live with it. I did discover that the paint will pull some of the lume granules loose so I think that's where the "extra" paint on the second coat came from as I tried to "brush out" the few grains that came loose. Over all I think the look really pulls the watch together. Now, the execution is not my best work but it's my first go-round so it is what it is. What say the WITitite nation????

With my "Old" eyes, the Blue is by far easier to read.:wink:
 
I mean really... is there any doubt? Gotta go with the turquoise blue hands to match up with your outstanding strap. Way to go!

One suggestion though. You might think about going back and adding a touch of paint to the tip of the second hand. I think that would really finish off your painted hands MOD. :hmm: Either way Brad, you have yourself a winner!
 
Looks great, you're right totally pulls the watch together. Such a simple mod really pulls the dial into the forefront.

I did the same to a few of mine.
