space Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 No, they are not the same size. the 45mm hands are obviously longer than the hands for the 42mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansenshukai Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 From my experience, Omega sells their watch hands according to the caliber of the movement. I believe that the caliber for the 42.5mm Omega Planet Ocean is 2500 (experts please correct this if I'm in error). The movement for the 45mm is of a different caliber. But, obviously, based on the diameters involved alone, they would have to be longer (the bigger watch requries that the hands "reach" out farther to the second and minute markers from the center of the watch).

Bansenshukai Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 both 42 and 45mm are cal 2500 and on ofrei, there is only 1 part number for planet ocean hands. anyone else thinks only the case is different, I am sure I could through in a replica 42mm movment and dial into the 45mm case. but just want to know if that is the same for gen. I have both the 45mm and the 42.5mm reps for that model and after a second look, it seems that the crystals are the same diameter - that surprised me. Following that the dials are the same as the crystal in this characteristic then, yes, I guess the hands would be the same for both. Hope this helps. By the way, if you ordered from Ofrei, be prepared to wait from six to eight weeks for this part. I got mine from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Technician Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 They may have more stock now. My hands and dial from Ofrei only took 4 days to get to me. (Your mileage may vary.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
