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!

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.
