Early tudor 7928 hands

[Jayrock26]

Hello!

The early tudor submariner 7928's (chapter ring, gilt dial, radium, PCG) what models came with gilt hands?

If the watch has a gilt dial, should the hands also be gilt to be correct for the originality of that watch

Please help!

Thanks

The gilt/gilt dial (i.e. gilt chapter ring and gilt text) should have gilt hands
The gilt/silver dial (i.e. gilt chapter ring and silver text) should have rhodium hands.

The PCG's represent a brief period only for 7928's (1961 / 62 ?) and I'm thinking all PCG's should have gilt/gilt dials and gilt hands.

Someone will yell if I'm wrong on that

Well i am looking at a PCG gilt 7928 with gilt writing and the hands appear to be a metal (not gilt) color.

Im assuming this is incorrect for the model since it dies infact have the gilt print

Gilt all the way should have gilt hands.

Ah well it was close..

Thats unfortunate that happens to such nice watches sometimes.

Hands get changed all the time. If the case, dial, bezel etc. are great don't throw out a watch because it needs period hands, most can be sourced if you are patient. m
