dbane883 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Picked a set of gilt hands for my 5513 a couple of months ago when I was in NYC. Shop owner thought they were for a vintage sub, so I took a chance and I bought them. When I got home, sure enough they did not fit my cal 1520. But it occurred to me today that perhaps they might fit another gen movement. Possibly a 1030? The barrel hole of the hours and minutes are too wide for a 15XX. Since I've never owned a cal 1030, I have no idea if the cannon pinions are wider or narrower than a 1520. If they do fit a 1030, its possible these are 6538 hands?? Possibly radium lume as well? pretty sure they are not tritium. The short pinion on the seconds probably rules out being GMT hands. Thoughts?

cc33 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Cannon pinions are the same for 10xx and 15xx movements, if it doesn't fit your 1520 it certainly won't fit a 1030, to me they look/sound like they would fit a tudor 390 movement..

Hmmm. So 1520 hands fit a 1030?? Did not know that. I was pretty sure they were slightly different. Thanks. So possibly a 7928? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I thought they were too but I've learned that they have the same dimensions, pinion/barrel wise. Def a 7928 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
