####Steel Blue Hands sign up sheet###
ok, in order to get the tooling to do them up proper like, i need to get an idea of how many and some cash!
it takes $75 bucks worth of tooling for each 5 hand sets... that adds up quick!!!
They are a pain to make so only 36 sets will be made.
they will be made for:
649x
molly
616
long standard rp length 17.8mm
short standard cali length 16.9mm
the cost will be 75.00 for one set blued and lumed, vintage lume, blueing will vary from set to set.
50 for a set you can finish yourselves, blue and lume.
please add 10.00 shipping to international orders, and 5.00 to conus.
i set up an account just for projects like this:
if you want a set or more just PAYPAL vintagewatchworksii@gmail.com or I can take credit cards.
include your screen name, website ie rg, hf, rwi, etc, mvt, finish type, length and quantity.
and cc same info here in this thread.
they will start shipping end of next week! (once new tooling arrives....) and better stronger steel, these were just made with hardware store plate... :lol:
the production hands will be of higher grade steel, easier to polish, harder, and takes bluing better.
