BradBMW Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Hello all, I need a set of 1665/1680 hands, preferably with aged lume for a build. Also, I need these to fit a gen 1570 movement. Who do you think currently has the best hands available? Thanks, Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 You can't go wrong with CWP hands. The ones on my Big Gonzo were custom lumed and lightly sanded to make the gilt look old, and they're dead ringers for gen. He sells them in gen sizes.

ww12345 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Does he sell those hands for ETA movements too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Yes, although because these were lumed to match my dial, I had these gen-sized hands broached to fit my ETA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 This takes me back to a discussion that was going on over on HF and here a month or so ago. A member was trying to get Michael Young to produce the long hour hand for a 6200 but in the DG2813 size. There were going to be minimums and new tooling was required, but nobody ever answered the question if he had the 6200 hands already in the ETA size. He has them for the gen Rollie movements. With that in mind, do we just ask him for the correct hands for the watch we want, and then specify the movement we are using? So in the OP's case, he would say he wants 1680 hands for a 1570 movement and I would say I want 6200 hands for an ETA 28xx movement?

Mendota Explorer Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I wonder if he can use any other method if ordering just one set of hands. That's half the price of the hand set! Incidentally, I just saw your sig. Panama is one of my favorite Van Halen songs. Such a classic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
