Alpha Radiomir question
I just bought an Alpha Radiomir but am yet to receive it. The one thing that I was a little hesitant about was buying a watch without a second hand. Now, I am sure that the Chinese hacking movement in the Radiomir is used in other Alphas, so I thought what's to stop me adding a second hand. I emailed Alpha and they were really less than helpful and said there was no second hand to fit because there weren't any long enough. I find this hard to believe as the Multi-function watch measures about 51mm and the Radiomir is 45mm.If you look at the pics you will see that there is a disc at the end of the staff on the Radiomir, which is basically just the centre of the second hand, and comparing the two watches, the hour and minute hands on the Mult-function look identical to the Radiomir. Anyone tried to add a second hand to this watch?

Box for early 1940's watch.
.......as I mention in my previous thread couple of days ago- I just bought my first Hamilton.Now I am looking to find an appropriate box that comes along with it. I see that we have some guys here with excellent knowledge of vintage pieces and I want to kindly ask for help:"Can any of you guys please show me a picture of a box that would have come with this 1942 Lester Curvex?"T.I.AMilos

A shot in the dark
Last week, at the Costco in Los Angeles, CA, my grandmother lost her two tone, champagne dial Datejust on jubilee. Her memory has been a bit hazy of late, and she set the time but left it on her lap in the car rather than putting it on. The thought is that she dropped it in the parking lot when she got out. My grandparents can afford to replace it, but here's the kicker: the watch belonged to my grandfather's brother, who passed away from cancer in the early 2000s. Though he won't admit it (he doesn't want to make my grandmother feel any worse), he's devastated at the loss of such a piece.While I know this is a long shot, if anyone happens to have seen it or picked it up, please let me know. I'd post a serial number here, but I've yet to find any papers in their home with it listed. Thanks!

Caseback Engraving
Just wondering if anyone out there knows how much does engraving on the caseback can decrease the value of a rolex during resale? I was told by a rolex resaler that if they can buff it out it may decrease value by $100. Of course when I asked about what if they can't buff it out they can't give me a straight answer. Anyone have a ballpark idea? Can they just change the caseback? Thanks in advance!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
