Hour hand on LV is a bit small

Is it me, or does the hour hand on the LV, seem a tad skinny? The dail is Maxi, what about the hands? Seems like the min hand is proper size. Maybe I am just looking at this to closely?

Nope. You're right. Only the minute hand is thicker. On the GMT IIc the hour hand is thicker,

Unfortunately, the LV is like that.

The hour MARKERS are Maxi
The MINUTE hand is Maxi, but

The HOUR hand is NOT Maxi.

Rolex changed that on the new GMT IIc, however, where ALL hands are Maxi.

I am sure you can, but that would make it a frankenwatch. Sort of.

I would change nothing original if I were you.

I guess you guys are right.....small hour hand is same as the Blue Sub standard marker and small hand.

That's quite weird. I wonder why Rolex would have done that? They should have changed the size of the Hour hand to match the minute hand. This just looks odd to me now...

They look like the same hands as the Yacht Master.
