Question about dial and hands setup

Post by bmsm »

Hello everyone,

Hope find you all safe.

I’ve the the next set 2mm dial, 6497 with H3 CP and HW.

The CP and HW are at the limit of the dial and hands don’t have much space between each other and the hour hand almost touchs the dial.

When using a 2mm dial what hands set should I use?

Thanks

You can get Athaya tall hands and shorten the tubes if needed.

They are made of brass and are protected by a layer of varnish but it's easy to remove.

Be careful if you sand down the top part since the tube is mechanically attached to it. It's a pressure fit.
So it can become loose. I would add a drop of CA glue to reinforce it.

for 2mm dial and h3 hand set Gordon hands will work perfectly. as well as Rivef hands.

Athaya hands have to be trimmed a little.
