Hands identification - Where have I seen these before?

[Fizzzz]

Hi friends,

High hands.jpg

This photo is from Aliexpress, specials hands with long tubes.

I like these hands so much, I want to make a build with,
but I can’t find photos of the original watch.

I’m 100% sure I’ve seen these hands on HF (just a few weeks ago) but can’t find the photo.
As far as I remember, it was a Rolex or Rolerai pocket watch (black dial).

I’ve spent hours searching but can’t retrieve the photo…
I hope your memory is better than mine.

Search for "Angelus clock" on ebay. Plenty of photos there.

Thank you very much!

Stupid me!
I knew it was vintage Panerai relative,
and with this sophisticated design, I was thinking about a Rolex pocket watch
and totally forget Angelus.
So this means that the pocket watch I’ve seen was a fantasy build,
I guess these hands will make a good marriage with a Rolerai gilt dial.

Thank you @dj57 and @Woundup
but the photo I've seen was none of these watches.
It was a black dial, and AFAIR, 2 pocket watches on the same photo.

Thanks for the photo @wwwEvgeny
Huge patina, I love this tint.

As far as I understand, vintage watches with these hands are very rare,
yet, an Aliexpress seller has decided to have these produced, specifically with high tubes.
IMO, HF is the only place to get this inspiration…
