jmb Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I dunno, some of my gen pics have a minute hand that pretty much spans the distance between minute-marks on the dial... But, I can see that it really bugs you and must be causing you unknowable stress and mental anguish. Please, before you feed it to grizz, just send it down Texas way and I promise I will not pick on it concerning it's chubby hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 The tip of the minute hand should extend to the outside edge of the lumed markers. Looks pretty good to me Here's mine for comparison: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Thank you kindly Red, looking at yours and then at mine, I think we have the same hands. I wonder if mine would benefit from the espresso painting technique? It would take away some of the shine from the borders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Both excellent watches. I say use the MZ technique of iodine and bake time. That way you can evenly patina both the dial and the hands. I have a snowflake bug and itch. Arrrgh E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hard to tell from the pics, but the hands don't look too bad to me to be honest. Mine were much shinier when they were first installed, but have aged nicely in just the short couple of years that I have had them. I kind of enjoy the subtle reflections they give off in the right light. I'd leave yours alone if it were me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 What??? A perfect opportunity to tear apart my watch and you want me to leave it alone??? Y'know Ephry, there's a verrrrrrrrrrrrrry tasty little 9411 Snowflake for sale right now. With a BRAND NEW Ziggified movement. What's the old saying? "A thing of beauty is a joy forever"? Think of the joy, the unmitigated GLEE that thing would bring you! In fact I outright guarantee heart palpitations and breathless joy when you unwrap it. When you hold it to your ear and hear its gentle ticking it will be just like your first kiss with Rebecca Jean Farnsworth under the stairs at school. Yeah you thought I didn't know about that. See??

vlydog Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 sorry for the lack of proper terminology when it comes to the hand but... the metal that makes up the diamond surrounding the lume near the tip of the second hand seems a wee bit wider than Red's second hand.
