Right, a stupid question that you still cannot answer correctly.
You must not know anything about how hands actually interact with the movement, because the truth is, many hands are easily made to be interchangeable.
I wouldn't say "easily."
Please list any hands that are made to be "easily interchangeable." Watch hands are held on by a friction fit between the wheel and the hole in the hand, and the fitment has to be very precise. Even a few thousandths of an inch too big, and the hand will spin. Too small and it won't fit. Watch hands are delicate.
Hands can be broached, yes. They're never quite right after this is done.
Hands cannot easily be squeezed very much--in fact most hands can't be squeezed at all. Only the ones with a rim on the hand can be squeezed, it's difficult, and again the hand is never quite right after this.
But yes, please, share your vast experience. I must not know anything. Clearly I've never installed hands on a movement, all of those build pics I've posted must have been stolen from the interwebs.
Really man, it was a simple question, and all I needed was a yes or no
And I gave you one.
Those hands can't possibly fit any watch you're buying from Puretime.
There are a million different places to find ETA Mercedes hands on the internet. A quick search on eBay turns up over 100 hits, including all the usual suspects (WSO, Raffles). You could order from Yuki. You could ask Angus to sell you extra hands along with your order.
You would know all of this stuff if you'd done a bit of reading, on this forum or on any of the other big rep forums.
but now you are turning this into a pissing contest between who knows more. Why? Do you always treat new people to your forum this way?
Only the impolite ones.
You asked a simple question and I gave you a polite, simple answer. In fact, I'd say I'm still being pretty reasonable. You were the one that started with the attitude
