    Measurements on that 2998 page would be awesome.

    Agree :) - is 14.5mm the correct size for the minute hand?

    I believe the FOIS hands are 14.2mm as says ofrei. Not sure if that's the best measure. .3mm could be enough of a difference i suppose.

    Here are some photos of watches I have, hands good length and short. Also some loose proper length minute hands measured and on a 105.003 dial. Hope this helps.
