Vintage Rolex Hands

Has anyone ever sourced tritium hands for their vintage 4 digit rolexes (5513 or 1675)? Is the entire process fully reliant on trust? Said another way, there’s no way of knowing if the hands are real or fake right?

Like anything else vintage - there is a minefield that gets easier when you know what to look for, one of the things to learn is hands

Just run from Michael Klan, he is NOT decent at all and will send you a mismatched set.

NOT GOOD

Yes, indeed and his knowledge is not very impressive.

I have yet to see the counterfeiters duplicate genuine Rolex tritium hands for the sport models.
