Dear all

While i am searching a replacement of my tri compax minutes which accidentally broken, i realise there are few for Cal. 281 on eBay.

Despite the caliber of my Tri Compax is Cal. 283, may i know those hands can match since the base of 283 is 281? I have tried to find some documentation but in vain. Hope someone can shed some lights on this issue.

Much much appreciated.

Yes, the Cal.281 hands should also fit on a Cal. 283. Hour hand hole size is 1.60 mm on both.

Not sure how much it adds but there are these two PDFs on the Cousins website.

There's currently a set of cal.481 hands offered in the UG facebook group for a good price. Depending on what length and colour you need, these could also fit: https://www.facebook.com/groups/324360827622703/posts/9371422526249776/
