Before becoming a devout Forum reader I never would have noticed things like this. But I noticed that the lume on the hour and minute hand seems to be longer than usual. It extends into the point of the hand, where as most stripes of lume seem to end before reaching the point. The minute hand looks a bit short too but seems to measure the standard length. Maybe the hash marks are shorter than usual. But I was wondering if any of you have seen hands with such long lume, or are could these be some sort of malicious imposters. They look old and the lume seems to mach the indices well enough. I am wondering if they are original or not. What do you think?
First of all the shape of the hands is ok! The bezel and the dial are ok...why the hands shoud not? The lume seems effectively a little longer but i don't know if it means that is not original
I wonder if these are perhaps Mark hands? (hands for a Speedmaster Mark __ model) Not that I recognize, but I know nothing of those models anyway.
I think you are correct, the lume does extend a tad too far and both hands do seem short. Here is my 145.012 to compare. Or, maybe mine are too long . Maybe we are all getting a bit carried away with the minutia?
