tripdog So I bought hands from wso for this Tudor 2483 that were “ guaranteed to fit” but when they came in and the packet was labeled 2836/2824. I assume they won’t work. Or will they with minor modifications?

Yep, that's wso for ya bro.. I had the same thing happen to me when I ordered nh35a hands for a seiko project, hands arrived in a baggie labeled (2824/2836) when I contacted them about the issue he gave me this answer "we don't carry hands set for nh35a movements"

..when their ebay description clearly stated (hands set fit for nh35a movement)

wso has a nickname on our sister site (rwg) slimeball and good reasoning for it.

sorry to hear about the hands set.

I'd Google 2483 hands center hole diameters and see if they line up with the 2824/2836 hands

Nice, I'm inspired!

2483 hand sizes: 1.50 x 0.90 x 0.21mm

2836 hands: 1.50 x 0.90 x 0.25mm

Hour and minute hand should fit, second hand will need to be broached. Buy a set of broaching files, they don't need to be expensive hi-end files and open up the second hand post.

Warning, it's not easy and second hands are very fragile.

If the other hands don't fit, there may be burr on the inner edge of the post, just run a broaching file through a couple of times to clean it out and they should fit.

Thanks a lot. Luckily I have couple sets of hands to practice on.

lawlessflyer the wso hands worked though. I had to pinch the second hand a little to get it to fit. That’s ok, though.
Specs now are
Case-Vietnam
Dial- from yodog I’ll assume Vietnam
Insert- gen
Crown- gen
Movement-gen
Hands- wso
Crystal- gen
I’ll post pics soon

​​​​​​@tripdog so I assembled the watch with the hands provided from wso. (2824/2836) hands. The dial aside of the movement is convex and I can’t get it super flush. I’ve done the best I could to get it to work but the hour hand seems to be not on all the way. It’ll slip a bit. You have any tricks? Or maybe the hour hand is too loose?
