Hope someone can help me identify if both sets of hands here are gen?

I bought a set of gen GMT hands and for some reason the sender sent two pairs of hands. They look the same to me but I am no expert.

Any help appreciated please. Thanks.

Really hard to tell in the pics bro. Did you get second hands? Those would be easier to tell from a pic with a clear closeup as the center plate is capped on a gen. There is no hole in the middle.

Thanks man - I appreciate it. will post pics of seconds hands tomorrow. I have no doubt the set I bought is real but I can't tell which is real or if both are real.

Also a clear super closeup of the GMT hands would help. Cell phone cameras usually have about a 8x zoom capability. This is a gen GMT hand, the transition of color to steel can be different than on rep hands.

But I've seen more than once that the GMT hand color transition was poor in a gen. Just wondering is that a known qc weakness even for Rolex? Or is it just a qc slip that can happen to the best manufacturer?
