ThePunisherXIX Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 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 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Rafflestime on eBay has good aftermarket hands for a 1570 movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompompurin Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) 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.

jackflash Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Gen movement. Worth investing in gen hands too. Saving to do so if needs be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capre Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
