Datejust Hands for Miyota 8215

[preacher62]

I know this has been discussed but I could not find the thread. Is there anyone in CONUS who sells a set of DJ hands for a Miyota 8215?

Hands for a DG movement will work fine but I can't find them. I have sent an email to Gary Clark to see if he has them. Mr. Slimball says that he does not have them. I might have to go to one of our dealers.

Miyota hands -

Hour = 1.65 mm

Min = 1.0 mm

Sec = .17 mm

DG hands -

Hour - 1.5 mm

Min = 1.0 mm

Sec = .17 mm

You can broach the hour hand just a touch and it will fit fine.

I noticed that JulesBorel list hand sizes for the Miyota at 150/100/17- just like the 2813. $39.95 each.

I have a set of silver DJ hands I'm not using- I think they're still in decent shape, you're welcome to them, PM me if you're interested.

broaching is too slow, use mr. rat tail file.

Thanks you very much. As luck would have it I am looking for gold hands this time. I will look at Borel and see what they have. Thanks, again.

I have a 1601 that I am retrofitting another movement in. I looks as though...since it has a piepan dial...that the Miyota movement will fit perfectly. I will know today. The 8215 is a great "slow-beat" solution for franken work.
