Very interesting to see the process involved in getting those hands just right. It just confirms why I never became a watchmaker, I just don't have the patience to do that, day after day.
I've had a lot of inquiries on the hands on my Steinhart Ocean Black subalike that I had made into a MilSub. The answer is they're Omega SM300 hands, with a very intriguing curve to them - must be those Universo hands. When Steinhart starting making a milsub (Ocean Vintage Military), I noticed the hands are flat.
w&w: Do you have a favorite MKII project and why or why not?
BY: Usually my favorite project is the latest one. This is because we normally do at least one thing for each model that puts us outside our comfort zone so that we learn something. If you made me choose I would have to say the Kingston and Paradive have been my favorites. The Kingston because it's a watch I would have done eventually whether there was a market for it or not. Fortunately for me I wasn't alone in my interest in that project. The downside was that I probably pushed the envelope too far on that project which led to the notorious delivery delays.
The Paradive, because it is based on my favorite military dive watch. The shape overall is as close to ideal as I have worn and seen in a tool watch.
