1675 Hands

I recently acquired this 5.7M serial 1675. I noticed that the second hand is shorter than usual. The hands do appear to have been relumed, but do they appear to be genuine 1675 hands?

Here's one from 1977 for comparison. There are also plenty of GMT dial photos in the Reference section and the For Sale section. Spend some time there and compare them with your watch.

The second hand looks not shapen.
And the hour hand looks weird.
You should check it carefully,
Hour hand lume must start from the outline of circle.

I’m pretty sure your hands are aftermarket. The second hand doesn’t taper correctly which is common for aftermarket. Also the hour hand has wrong proportions.
