PAM small seconds hand tube too short

[Drulee]

Finally I can log back onto RWI again. Kept getting unable to connect messages on and off for the past few days.

Anyway, I need a source for Panerai small seconds hands (6497 @ 9 type) with longer tubes, as I've found that I have a few extra thick dials, and/or a couple movements with too short posts.

I'm looking for one silver, two white and one black one, all with the longer tubes. I'm not sure if any dealer carries these (JacksonTse's are the shorter ones), and don't have the capability to do the hypodermic needle mod. Do if you know of a dealer, or have some extra ones you want to sell ....

I just remembered that DSN dials may be thicker than regular rep dials. Which means their seconds hand tubes are probably longer.

Can anyone verify this?

I have some extra long tube sec hands .
I can take some pics compare to the normal sec hand .
Do you need that ?

If you're confident that they are longer tubes than the regular ones, no need for pics

Send me a PM with what you'd like, how many you can spare, and any other info you think pertinent, and I'll get back to you when I return home.

Thanks a lot, I almost scrapped a couple of projects, but now look forward to some even bigger headaches down the road

Please check the pics , I use these sec hands for the relume sausage dial .
Cause the sausage dial after relume will be thinker than original .
So the tube must be taller than standard .
If you want to try , I can ship it for you as a gift .
It cost nothing , you know .
Just PM me your address infos if you want it .

goin6633, you mean that in most case when reluming a sausage dial over the old lume, the sec hands will be too close to the new lume ?

If you want ot make a good lume effect , I have to say yes !
Most of the time , the problems will be just in the sec hand .
I just cover a thin pigment layer on the old lume plave to avoid the sec hand stock on it before .
Since I asked my dealer find the hand sets I use now , I just can 100% avoid the problems .
Just a little longer than standard , but it works for me after relume .

Thanks for the tip, that's something i will take into consideration before the relume job

Those look long enough, but let me take a picture (later this aft.) of what I know to be a too short hand, then compare them. And thank-you for your generous offer.

Alright, here's a pic of the hands in question (short tubed ones). It looks like yours do have longer tubes I'll contact you later on, would have done it before but figured it would be informative for the other members to see the sizes of the posts.

Please excuse the extra minute hand, I just wanted a pic of it to use in finding a way to fix the missing paint at the base.

No problem , mate .
I will prepare a set of hands for you if you need them .
Cause those hands are already been relumed .
That will make all the lume colors are the same in hands .
