Watch hands bluing ~60 mins

Mod potential：★★★ (You can mod this watch with other DWC components, such as custom dial, custom rotors, hands and cases)

Difficulty Level: ★★★★

Due to the thin and fine nature of a dress watch second hand, these second hands are slightly more difficult to install when compared to our other tool/sport watches powered by Seiko NH movements. Stainless steel hands are also harder, and therefore slightly harder to install.
The bluing process, while not difficult, does require patience.
Key challenge: second hand installation

How to heat-treat your watch hands and screws (or other steel components)

With the right setup, flame bluing is actually quite an enjoyable process. Check out our ~10-minute guide on how to create your very own heat treated blue hands.
