Looking at my first DJ...

Hi, folks:

I am looking to pick up my first DJ, this 1601, specifically. Now, I know the seller is highly regarded, so I have no qualms over this. I do wonder, though, if you wonder as I do: Are the hands on this watch replacements or originals? What do you think?

I figured it out! Never mind.

Looks good.

Looks good.

Thanks. But what about that second hand? It doesn't reach the outer indices...

Sorry, yes, the sweep hand is wrong. I didn't look at that.

If I see wrong hands I think the watch ended up being “serviced”/“repaired” by someone with no access to parts. Dealers, often, do “quick repairs” to have a watch ready for sale.

Watch looks good though. Decent case, nice linen dial...if the price is right....
