I have a Havaan Tuvali with a paper dial (with enamel outer ring). I really like this watch…except the handset. The dark silver hands get lost with the dark paper background.

I've ordered a set of polished silver hands to swap with. I've never worked with paper dials before. Any precautions I should use when removing the hands? I just have a cheap set of hand levers I've used in the past.

Thanks!

I've been interested in a Deck / Marine style watch for a while. I'd like to look at some affordable microbrand options. Preferably spending under $350 (I'm open to used). Stowa and Dekla are great options, but out of the range I'm looking to spend.

I found Tisell, but it seems a little big at 44mm.

Wishfull Specs:
36 - 40mm
Manual wind
No date
White dial
Arabic numerals
Railroad minute track
6-o'clock seconds subdial
Display caseback

Anyone got any suggestions?

For sale is my Tissot Le Locle two-tone (gold PVD accents) silver dial small second hand dress watch. Since this is my only 19mm jug width watch, I'm including both the leather straps I've bought for this watch in addition to the two-tone bracelet. I've always worn this watch on the brown leather strap. The black strap has only been worn to try on. The case and bracelet are in excellent shape.

Included are the box, manual, tag, spare links, and two leather straps. Asking $260 including...
