Thought the late 2913's should have long arrow minute hand and dauphine hour hand?

The watch in the link is a 2998-4 and I can't find a 2913 on the site, but I have a 2913-6 and it has the long arrow, short dauphine hand. The watch you saw, did it have the earlier short arrow / long dauphine, or both dauphine?

Damn, posted the wrong link.
Just changed it. Short arrow, long dauphine.

Considering the radium plots are gouged out of the dial and the horrible bezel restoration, I wouldn't be surprised if these hands are add ons.

That bezel looks terrible

There is something worse than the bezel, the lume and the properly refitted BA hands....something which is a sure sign of a franken.
Look at the movement. It's a serial 16719x cal. 501 20jewels. Hmmm, haven't seen that serial on a 2913 cal 501 before... but I have seen it on some US 2913's cal 500 ! Then I looked closer. It has the OXG stamping on the movement (below the regulator) ! So this WAS a US version to begin with. So should be a cal. 500 with either 17 or 19jewels then. Parts have been heavily exchanged on this one.

And they list it at $20K🫨 Perhaps European Watch Company literally means that they won't sell any US versions and had to rebuild it 🙄

:whipped:

And...the truth comes out.

When I was a kid, my dad's hardass buddy used to say, "don't fcuk with the truck, cuz you gonna get hit"

That is apropos nowadays with ppl trying to pass off rubbish as correct vintage.

So, can a 2913-6 have these hands?
