First set i've ever seen for sale. are they original? the lume looks brand new on them.

I guess you can see slight patina, and the package says rolex naval store *shrugs* somthing tells me mike wood might buy them haha

they look like they are in good shape - as for authenticity, I'm sure an expert will be along soon...

No expert here as well but if fake they play the game well :-)

what does a set of hands like this go for? or is that just a pic off the web>?

Mark020 · 6 February 2013, 01:07 AM

If real: EUR 10k+ I assume. Pic is from the ebay ad.

Seller has >450 positive sales, many of the recent being Milwatch related. Some negative feedbacks over the years. Possible.

I did find a few pairs, i found a 2008 set that sold for $22,000 euro, and another set that sold for 18,000 GBP... interesting to see what these will sell for

jedly1 · 6 February 2013, 01:53 AM

no they aren't real...the mov't who with them mounted shows it most clearly the proportions are off and the diamond of the second hand is way too big.

and yeah, 18kgbp is about going rate ...sounds bonkers ...there can on for example a top drawer 5517 be 30k worth of difference between the value of a watch with hands and one without so....

i currently have 5 people waiting for sets of hands if i stumble on any :(

For such expensive items, the pics are surprisingly bad. They look like scans of prints.

andromeda160 · 6 February 2013, 10:59 PM
