I have one with blued screws myself, it was in the early days.

@matrixxu WOW! Fantastic video! That really captures how watchmaking feels. Hamilton really knew how to make a beautiful movement.
Also, I’m jealous of that screw polishing machine, been looking for one for ages.

Yes, the screw polishing tool is fantastic, mine is a bit less nicer than yours.

Mine is a 1946, 923. You know that the numerals are 18 K gold? Plated hands.

Yes, aware of the gold numerals. Sadly the hands had corrosion on them, visible in the video, so i asked for 250 C yellow as a temporary solution instead of replating them.
He will provide me with a set of heat blued hands in the future, wich i think will offer more legibility and better contrast.
Dial was curved version , so the case maker had to do a bit extra work and it came out great, perfect fit.
