Does anyone know of a good source for the 58mm scales with a tweezer slot on one side and the sliding ballpoint pen on the other side?
I recently lost my trusty Manager, so I did the logical thing and picked up a lot of 10 gently-used Managers from eBay (for $32). :climber:
They are all in good shape clean. Unfortunately, they have ugly, beat up scales. Personally, I just use one with beat-up classic opaque red scales. However, I would like to replace some of the scales. I think my wife would very much prefer some amethyst ones.
The only option I see so far is to buy a new Signature in the desired color and loot the scales. Part of me is conflicted about paying $20 for scales on a $3.20 knife... :think:

Lots of "cheap" options in euroland, but you seem to on the other side of the pond.
I'd be happy to be a middleman, but the shipping cost would make even ebay cheaper :twak:

Question, rather off topic ( :facepalm:), how come some stores in Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, etc sell 91mm scales for like €3 a pair? How can they be so cheap when everywhere else, they cost between €10 and €20? ??? :o
And it's a pity that they don't ship outside the euro-german area. :facepalm:
