Rare 1969 Datora Ref 2030 back from Craig. It was missing the hour hand and Craig fabricated one!

Craig had a minute hand from another watch. He cut it to hour hand length, painted and lumed it to match the minute hand.

Its a cool one. I have the same piece with Craig right now for COA, new crystal, and case swop. It should look the business when done. Will post pic when it returns.

Rick - I think you were a crown donor to me for this one :-) Thanks!
