Hi guys, it seems a set of hands for a vintage 5512 or 5513 are readily available but I can find nothing for a Tudor 7928. My question is are the hands for a 5512/5513 exactly the same as the Tudor 7928 hands or are they a different size. I have attached a photo of my 7928 to show how bad the hands look with a rather botched re lume attempt by previous owner. I did think of scraping them clean and just using them in skeletal form but I don't much like the look of that. A re lume is another option but again, the results I have seen are not very sympathetic, and tend to stick out rather brightly or the colour is way off to how they should look.

Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Aftermarket hands are around if you want to go that route. eBay has a few.

Jack at Industrial Watch Works could easily relume the hands to match the lume on the dial and it would look great.

Those hands could be repaired.....

Check with the Australian watch and clock guild for referral to a good restorer..
