e30m3 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 So, I'm aware of the current best "flat" hands. But as I've gone further and further down this 1680 rabbit hole, I've learned that, somewhere in the mid-'70's, Rolex started "curving" the hands - this supposedly in an effort to avoid washout (illegible) at any single angle. That is, there's always some light reflecting back off the hands, because they're curved. THEN, I learned that they're not curved at all - they're deliberately tapered, as in the attached pic. So the question is, does anyone replicate tapered hands, and are they any good? And should I (we, let's be serious here) even give a [censored]?

Revere Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Wow, that's a really interesting observation. I had no idea they were actually tapered. I know that the TC hands are very well known for replicating the gen look appropriately. I happen to be sitting on a few sets. I'll post some pictures in a day or two.
