What would you do with these hands ( Rolex 1016)
Hi all
Love my Rolex 1016. Hands are right size but are a bit more white and Lume all night. The dial is only for a minute or two. Most probably a replace hand. Shall I keep it like this or start searching for aged hands? Thanks m Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk |

It depends. If the hands are the originals, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Sounds as if the hands are lumi replacements. I'd look for a set of tritium hands, but finding a set that match the patina of the dial's tritium will be difficult.

Yes replacement hands if they glow all night. Look for tritium originals might take a year but there out there

Thanks you mean original Rolex replace hands do not change?
I have watches with tritium that still Lume the next day so maybe this is replace with newer tritium? Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk |

Congrats, looks like a good match. It makes me sad when I see a 1016 with the wrong (short) hands. To find a good set like this is pretty rare these days.
