Speedmaster Mitsukoshi Conversion
I recently cracked the crystal on my 3570.50, and took the opportunity to do a mitsuskoshi conversion. Dial and hands all genuine OEM from Otto Frei. I am really happy with how it came out.Only probably: I do miss my standard issue Speedmaster, and so am thinking I will need to pick up another somewhere along the line.A big shout-out and thank you to that great trf member kauebm for guiding me through the process of sourcing the right parts.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here are some pics from the internet for comparison.I mean, she's not COMPLETELY out of her mind, I think...

Or do generic spring bars do the trick and spring bars do not really matter in terms of valuation
