@160million - thanks.

I've not discovered if gen hands will fit the Miyota ....any ideas?
according to my research:

Cartier Santos watches typically use swiss movements which have different hand sizes than Japanese Miyota 9015 movements. The pinion sizes are:

  • Miyota 9015:
    • Hour hand: 1.50 mm
    • Minute hand: 0.90 mm
    • Seconds hand: 0.25 mm
  • Typical Swiss ETA or Cartier (approximate, varies by model):
    • Hour hand: ~1.20 mm
    • Minute hand: ~0.80 mm
    • Seconds hand: ~0.20 mm

These differences mean that genuine Cartier hands may either be too tight or too loose to fit the 9015 posts securely.

Another gen dial swap done...now it glows.

Apart from the lume on the markers, the centre textured part of the dial is much more pronounced.
