omgiv Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi guys, I just got these hands in the mail today and just wanted to double check with the experts as to their genuineness. They were billed as luminova hands for a 1665/1680. I don't know if there is a difference in the hands for a 1680 vs. a 1665. They look okay to me but I am still a noob. They also measured 80/130 on my hand gauge (which I believe is correct for a 1570 movement). Sorry for the bad picture but this was the best I could get with my phone. Thanks in advance!!!!

redwatch Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 They look pretty good to me, but I am certainly no expert - noob too when it comes to Rolex parts. I am more interested in the hand gauge! I definitely need to pick one of those up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgiv Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Thanks redwatch!!! I haven't used the hand gauge more than a handful of times. It does come in "handy" but it is pretty expensive if you don't use it often. Thanks again!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Luminova was not generally fit when the 1665/1680 were produced. However, that is what Rolex would fit today during servicing (since tritium is no longer an option). They look fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 100% confirmed genuine lumi service hands. That's what I used for my 5514 project, except I had Zigmeister relume mine to match the original tritium of my dial: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgiv Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks guys!!! I decided to go the lumi route since it seems to be the most reasonably priced when going franken. I already have the insert and hands now. I am still looking for a dial, but am in no hurry. Thanks again for the confirmation!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
