Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help me.

I just bought these rolex submariner 5513 tritium hands on Ebay. The sellers says they're NOS and authentic Rolex hands.

The longer i look at the picture, the more i'm doubting these are original Rolex 5513 hands.

Can anyone confirm if they're authenic or not?

 

I'm very much a rolex noob so I cannot say with any degree of certainty. So please wait for the pros to give you advice. But they look off to me, specifically when I look at the proportion of metal on the hands compared to the tritium. The stainless steel skeleton seems to be too thin and the hands appear to be lacking depth / contour.

 

Very poor photo, but they look too crude to be genuine to me. The surface of the hour and minute hands should be rounded, not flat as they appear to be here, and the location of the lume dot in the seconds hand looks maybe a bit too close to the center of the hand when I compare them to the watches I have serviced that I know have original hands, like this one:



Cheers, Al
