I’m looking to replace the hands on my LV. Match dial in daylight. They glow blue under UV and have poor lume after. Any recommendations from the crew?

Yours is a 2824, right? (BP?)

For hands you could try somewhere like helenarou for mercedes hands - although can't recall if they offer maxi hands?

Even then I don't think you would get a perfect match so maybe a relume is the best option?

Sillan on Alibaba should have some better matching hands. Other than that you could just relume.

It has been updated with a Swiss 2836, suspect BP, don’t know for sure. I’ll check out helenarou. I know raffles has the maxi hands, both hour and minute. I believe the LV has the regular hour hand. I’ll have to look into relume as it’s not something I’ve done before. Appreciate recs @Art Vandelay!

If you want to go down the relume route, Noctiluma sells a pretty good substitute for C1 Luminova if you don't want to spend an arm and a leg. The pigment is called WG23F.
