They look a little flat to me, could just be the photo. They should also be radium which I doubt would ever go this colour?? They are selling fast though!

These are being sold by Watchco under their new eBay handle so one assumes that they are not talking out of their hat. They are certainly going fast & there is a 14 day return privilege so not much risk if you can accept the price point, IMO.

Not if they are '57 re issue as those are available for a quarter of the price. The wrong hands will always be wrong and these definitely are not radium imo and may also be the wrong shape.

Watchco often talk out of their hat imo! Much of their parts are listed as nos when you can see by the packaging and other details they are new stock from Omega. They just have an Omega parts account is all.

 

They are definitely not '57 re issue hands, the '57 hands are flat and you can see from the photos that those hands are curved.

'57 re issue hands can be bought for about $30

 

I see a lot of modern hands, and these don't appear to have the very sharp corner running down the middle of them like modern hands do...

 

The papers are genuine 60's ones.

Good to hear others don't think they're '57 re issue. I guess they are 60's service hands then as not radium.

 

Well, NOS & new stock are obviously conflated a lot and I would assume that everyone around here know that a Luminova bezel for example is not really "NOS" even if it is technically new, the same as a 1171 bracelet in modern Omega packaging is not really "vintage".
If these are Tritium service hands and not Luminova (say from the 80s or 90s) they are still quite valuable to the right buyer in need.

Looks like a bunch of service hands with that old greenish tritium mix inside. If I was desperate maybe.....

 

The type face of the 'e fiedler' printing. They made hands for Omega certainly in the 60's but probably for other decades too.

 

Well hands can be "moved" from one card to another - I've done it myself to consolidate hands for storage, so the card they are in proves nothing in itself.

This is an example of current card with hands:



These 22545000 seconds hands are made by Universo...they make hands for many different customers....even me.

The hands look good to me, I have seen radium on old carded hands which have been dry stored which have been a very similar colour. They are definitely worth a punt, how often do these hands come up for sale?

The hands look good to me.

Why radium ? In the middle 60s hands have no more radium but already all tritium and so if they are '65 service hands they are correct (IMHO)
