Help, best aftermarket 5513 hands for gen 1520 movement

[ThePunisherXIX]

Hello,

 

I’m building a franken 5513 and used a white gold index service dial.

I’m try to found gen hands but they are too pricey and out of my budget, that’s is already gone whit gen movement, dial and all other parts.
 

Some advice for best aftermarket hands for 1520 movements?

 

Thanks in advance for help 🙂

Rafflestime on eBay has good aftermarket hands for a 1570 movement

Gen is the best for hands, IMO
no compromise.

If your gen service dial is the "SWISS" superluminova variant, then suck up the cost and buy the gen service hands.
If your gen service dial is the tritium variant, you could buy gen service hands and have them re-lumed to match your dial.
Gen service hands are supposed to be relatively affordable, compared to the original vintage ones. Also, second hand service hands are even more affordable.

Trust me, i've been through searching for the best sub hands and concluded that gen hands are miles ahead better.

Gen movement. Worth investing in gen hands too. Saving to do so if needs be.

Agree with the posts above. If you have invested in genuine dial and movement then genuine hands is a small cost. Why run a marathon just to quit a few meters from the finish line?
