[Pompompurin's] Chasing OCD: who has the best ETA Submariner hands?

[pompompurin]

Do you know if rafflestime are complete stainless steel or are they brass plated?

brass plated. I tapered them and it exposed brass

 

[pompompurin]

Are raffles dials and raffles time hand sets different? They seem to use the same reference pictures.

Are RD and RT hand sets different? They seem to use the same reference pictures.

Different hands set. I ordered both sets before

And another thing: why nobody is bothered by wrong Mercedes sign proportions? It would be most frustrating for me. I think to buy a hands set from RD or RT is more like a lottery. I have bought a couple of times from RT (the same ebay lot) and every time received different sets.

@pompompurin what is the hands set you are started with? You mentioned to make a couple of sets and sell, so how is your progress on it? ????

Because of global shipping delays, I don't order and make anymore hands set

@pompompurin did you do anything to the cap/hole for the seconds hand? It looks nice on the hands you posted (like TC’s final handset, but not as pronounced) instead of the ugly seconds hand hole you see on most aftermarket sets.

Nah, I didn't do anything to the centre capped hole
