Here's another one gurus. Same seller who has been mentioned today in a different thread selling a pristine DO90 bezel. I present to you all a set of supposedly vintage NOS 2915 hour and minute hands offered for the nice tidy sum of €1500. What say all of you?

Weren't these hands used on other models?

 

Yes, they certainly have been used on newer models, the broad arrow series come to mind, but brand new hands such as these certainly would not warrant a $1700 price tag.

 

He does offer "Buy it Now"

Try "insulting" him.......

 

Here is a comparison photo from @Spacefruit and speedmaster101.com. The eBay lume does look like the authentic hands on the right in the photo. Who knows?

 

Pop Quiz:

The seller shows this photo in his auction ad and claims the hands are "vintage". Anything wrong here????

 

I totally saw that, but can it really be that easy? He also says there are 2 sets available when that picture shows 9.

 

Maybe he already had 7 people pay him €10500 for the other sets??

 

These hands look correct to me, even if they are service hands from the 1960's. They are extremely rare and the price is not insane. If you have a 2915 with wrong hands, I'm sure it's a bargain.

 

I guess if you own a legit 2915 then spending $1.7k for 2 hands may be in your price range.

 

Unfortunately, I have no hands on experience with 2915-1 or 2 hands. How are you certain these are from the 60's and not a later era?

 

If these are legit then that throws a positive light on his DO90 bezel too.

 

Friedler was indeed an omega supplier in the 60's, so the seller could be honest. If he found a NOS set of 2915 hands, he is very lucky but it's not impossible.
Of course it's hard to be sure but the shape looks ok when I examine the pictures.

 

The bezel is ok

 

Here's a pair I used to have and luminous aged.

Also another pair od blued hands and notice the luminous.

Both hands were/are NOS. His luminous is mint with no aging

Send a real pair to China and costs nothing to make up reps

DON

 

I don't beleive these are original NOS. Would like to see illumination test.

 

Hands costs an arm and a leg!

 

Agree, somehow these have sat unused somewhere for 50+ years? Even if they were made in the 60's as replacement hands for original 2915s, that would still be remarkable to find a set of 9 hour and minute hands that NOS. Lets see some lume shots!

 

It looks like the Fiedler card is date stamped - maybe 1965? If that is the case then they maybe they are service hands? I think that may be what Gemini4 was alluding to

 

It seems like that is the consensus, still amazing to have a group of 51 year old hands that are NOS.
