Submariner Mercedes Hand Comparison (ETA2836)

[hanski]

Just a quick comparison of of Mercedes hands for a Rolex/Tudor submariner - sized for ETA 2824/2836.

I haven’t given them a thorough analysis yet so make your own judgement on the best set or combination.

I would take Raffles set and modify slightly (while they are not perfect, it was what I actually did on my 5513 rep). The others lacks here and there on dimensions (too short hour hand or seconds) or proportions. No one rep ETA set for sale I've found that is perfect.

Here is a gen set of tritium 5512/13 hands for comparison. Size should be 8,5mm/12mm/12.5mm from the center. The dot of the seconds hand should measure the same that the hour hand center of the Mercedes star.​

An the following are my Raffles set as received and after being modified. I rusted them following Jaqueslepro advice and hand painted 'em.

Regards,

Dino

Very nice comparison, actually. Is it me or Clarks' ones have a great 3D effect?
