IMG_2622.JPG IMG_2623.JPG IMG_2624.JPG Good Evening to all,

I, like many here, are still new to the world of reps. I've been building my knowledge from reading countless posts about anything and everything rep related. It's a pretty cool hobby if you ask me. I'm looking to replace some hands on a couple Rolex no-dates (6-digit) and I am having the most difficult time finding a good source for them and any help determining what the correct size is. One would think, if the movement is a 2836-2, then the hands are X-X-X size but that's not the case. Here are two pictures of both movements. According to Katt, who was doing some dial work, said that one of these is the H4 size. Which I believe he was referring to a H4 pinion size but I cannot seem to relate that to an orderable part online. Can anyone lend an expert-eye and help me determine what size the hands are for these 2836-2 movements? This is my first real post asking for help so be kind as I would like to keep learning through the process.

Height of the cannon pinion is not going to affect hand sizes - 90/1.5/.25 for the ETA 2824-2/2836-2

TripDog,
Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately the two movements are different, one may use The 90 / 1.5/.25 but the second movement must use a different sized hand set (most likely the H4 pinion movement). Any thoughts of what other hands could be used?
