There is nothing in the photos you posted indicating they are replacement hands unless they glow substantially in the dark. There is nothing in your photos that I see indicating they are aftermarket hands and additionally, I have never seen an aftermarket seconds hand that looks like a genuine Rolex one. Below is a "rough draft" diagram for all the GMT police!

John, that diagram is one of the coolest things I've seen on this forum! Well done, sir!

Did you just sketch that out on a bar napkin when you saw this thread?
