Always fancied a "Arnie" because of the hype and the films, link to Arnie but when I have had them in my hands I have always been disappointed with the small dial/hands and in away I felt they were some what cheap looking so I moved them on but.......................still had the feeling that I wanted one even after getting rid 
So for a while now been sort of interested and because I fancy making a shroud for one I have been gathering parts(big thanks to David, Alex and Rob/Seikokid).
Been after a dial and hands but no luck, I don't know why I try WTB but for ever the optimist
This one sports a new sapphire crystal( I received a nice AR coated crystal for a Arnie today but too late for pictures), a NOS sample case back, a plastic quality after market shroud that was being sold on ebay a while ago which if i remember correct got a real slagging on the forum because it had been painted to get the black colour, I think it is great and a lot better than some of the cheap Aluminium ones I saw being sold.
And finally the innards of a H556-5029 that was sacrificed for the greater good of WISdom, when I showed this to a friend his comment was "Whats that ? looks like a cheap 80s piece of crap" or words to that affect
A really old and split GL831 strap.
While taking the pictures my wifes comment was "I like that one" why I said and her reply was "because it's flat "
IMO in the flesh it don't look too bad at all
Still looking for H558 dial and hands if you know of a set ?
