    Hi Guys,

    i am looking for a set of hands that fit better to my dial as the ones i have. they are vintage and Tritium but i think they look too white.
    I really hope i will get some positive news. :)

    Honestly I think you already have a good match. I look to the lume to go with the plots. Your hands though white, are matching in the lume. In fact I would say it is a rare match.

    to me this watch looks wonderful, but I do understand the tickle if you think something isn't right.

    I fully agree - the lume match is the more important, and that looks primo!

    +1! I would not bother. It is perfect IMHO.

    Thanks for the nice words.. :) and you are pretty nice about the lume, but its more the fact that the hands are soo white.
    This picture shows a bit better what i mean.

    But if you still say that it fits nicely i will surely leave as it is, because taking off and remounting the hands won´t make them better and sooner or later something might go wrong. :)

    This is a perfect example of nicely aged hands. Your hands are indeed white, but I have sen this many times in original sets. its the lume that ages.
