Take your time, Brad, there are plenty to go around. I will have the manufacturer make as many dials as are ordered by the 21st of June.

Hi Shawn,
Could this one (SRP141J1) be a suitable donor?
Thanks!

I want to put this out there, but I really don't know where. So I'll try here first. If this isn't OK Shawn, I'll remove the post
I have a almost new Seiko 5 (SNK791k1) with a SS Bracelet and brown leather strap, that I bought for this project. A really nice watch but, I really don't like the hands, so I'm looking at getting something else to send to Shawn.
I'm just looking for $55 (PP, Check, Cash or magic beans) for this. This is what I paid for it. Then, You buy the face through Shawn's site, I'll tag it with your information and I'll send it to Shawn along with mine for the face change. Or I'll send it to you, if you plan on doing the face change yourself. US only, sorry.
PM me if interested.
Here's the watch

No worries, Rick.
If you're happy with the case, hands are easy and cheap. What sorts of hands were you looking for?

George, did you see this one? http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNK795-A...=5336118867-20
Yes, I saw that one. I wanted a red arrow second hand, not just a red second hand. Also wanted the white background on the day/date, with red day and black date as in the SNK391K. I'd also like the pointy hour and minute hands on the SNKL45 ( ). Can't found that combination.

Even if I don't get rid of the one I have above, I may buy one of these for the 928 face. I want it all done at once and not have to go back and get the hands changed later. I already have some different straps ordered.

Interesting that no one factory stainless configuration has all the elements people tend to like, i.e., red second hand, bolder hands, white background on day/day and red date.

Hi Shawn - I looked at the list of donor watches and it seems to have reduced in what is available from when I first looked - can you update the list please? If possible of course.

I think sometimes when people buy items, they will clear off a wishlist. I'll see if I can fix it.
