Sorry to press this point but your comment just annoyed me
I therefore checked the website and ref A1177 - which you clearly didn't perhaps other than the first few photos! The description of this GMT states there is a service guarantee dated 2011. If you then check the last photo there is a photo of the actual Rolex Service guarantee card dated 18 Feb 2011!!!! So guess who most probably replaced the hands - yes, good old Rolex as they will do with any of our vintage watches without clear and detailed instructions not to. So your comments about " not necessarily a fake" are way off the mark!
