Hi

Thought I would just check general opinion that these are indeed original 2998 hands ? I think they are....





Originally (incorrectly) fitted to my 105.003-65:

Hey Neil,

Those look ok to me. They have the rounded end lume inlays typical of the 'narrow' version of the hands.

Yours appear to be the ones on the left of the image on Spacefruit's site.

Hard to tell from the angle of the pic of them fitted, but I think they're the correct length. Can you lay them on a ruler?

If they are the right length, that is the hour hand reaches the minute track, then yes.

Are you selling these hands, Neil? If so, why not post them on OF? Or maybe you already have.

Hi

I was finding it so difficult to value them , I thought it best to let Mr Market decide....started them @ 0.99p GBP

Maybe OF could start an auction section?

(As if the Mods don't have enough to do!)
