How to tell if Rolex hands are genuine?

I'm looking to buy a set of replacement hands for my 16710 GMT-Master II. I came across a few sets on eBay from sellers that have good reviews but I don't know how to tell if the parts are genuine or aftermarket.

Is there any way to authenticate them other than taking their word for it? They're not cheap considering they should be made out of white gold so I don't wanna be hoodwinked.

Unfortunately not, unless you are skilled in knowing exactly how hands should look.

It's best to "buy the seller" and rely on their reputation. New replacements should come in Rolex packaging, but older removed hands will not.
