Anyone else noticed that on the ZF Tudors and some other reps that the lume used on the hands is whiten than the dial lume ? It's hard to see in normal light but it appears the hands are a bright white colour and the dial markers are slightly toned down.

Could anyone recommend some high quality 2824 silver snowflake hands please ?

I do have some photos but it's hard to see.

No difference between the lume color on hands and on dial on my BB58.
If it's hard to see, maybe it's because you're too picky?

Same I've got the black at 58 referring to the heritage line and there is it's also been raised in another thread someone had a black bay 36mm with the same issue

Yeah it happens

It's definitely there on the ZF BB58 (V1 and V2) as well as KRF 36mm Tudor.

Honestly when I had a noob sub it was there as well but it was MUCH harder to detect on this

It's unavoidable given the hands/dial suppliers are often not the same. A relume job will fix it obviously but I doubt many would go down this route (though I will since I bot a kit =D )

It's probably because hands and dial/dial markers comes from two different suppliers to the manufacturer.

Yeah fair enough the lume at night is a perfect match it's just the shade of white is different but it's hard to explain
