QueTip Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) @antotony0203 Basically.. The Mikey hands are thinner in diameter compared to the gen hands. Gen hands have a pyramid effect once stacked up. Other than that the Mikey hands are great too but obviously, the gens are more refined and better finished in general. That is real itsy bitsy though. As for the subdial hands and chrono second hand, they are 98% identical and it's not really worth going gen on them if you ask me.

None of the aftermarket hands today stack (pun intended) up to gen hands. The gen hands in the stainless steel models are crafted from white gold. The shine and finish from any angle is inimitable by any rep or aftermarket hands, Mikey ones included. The "pyramid stack" that my friend @QueTipspoke of is another tell for the newer generation ROOs. The F series ROO gen hands are closer to what Mikey hands are emulating. The G series onwards have the distinctive pyramid stack, polished to a high gloss and beveled perfectly when stacked. This is again missing in the Mikey hands. I agree also with quetip that the Mikey hands are proportioned differently from gen hands. In addition to what he has said, the stem connecting the hand to the hands base looks different in the Mikey version. In short, there is simply no substitute for gen ROO hands. The differences are both subtle, and yet glaring for those who know them. H series gen hands. I tread softly along the fine line separating raving insanity and lucid moments of ingenuity. The issue is I've no idea which is which mostly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see the value of having mikey ones as well. I tread softly along the fine line separating raving insanity and lucid moments of ingenuity.
