Switching watch hands on 1993 Rolex Air-King 14000

[Kap007]

I saw an older post of an Air-King(14000) blue face, 3-6-9 with Mercedes Hands. Size wasn't mentioned, and any AD I speak with will not switch hands. Mine have lost lume and as I get older I'm having a tougher time reading the stick hands I believe they are called. I'm not too concerned with keeping all original. Of course I understand why my Air-King should be left alone but I'm not worried about value. Watch was just recently serviced and working awesome. I think Mercedes Hands would do the trick. I found aftermarket for Rolex online. They look to be good quality stainless with lume. I can't find for 3000 caliber; only 3135. Would these fit? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx Kap007

The Sub, Explorer, and the Air King shared the same movement for that era, which went from the 3000 to the 3130 movement when they put a full balance bridge and larger escapement inside.

The hands are interchangeable.

Thanx for quick response. So from what you are saying I would need to find 3130(or is the 3135 ok?... A little confused). Full balance bridge and escapement can stay as is? Thanx for your patience. I'm not sure what some of those parts are. Kap007

Ok. I did my research and found out the difference between the 3130 and 3135 is date. I'm trying to redeem myself. I will go ahead and order the 3135 hands. Thanx again.

Thanx to Larry in the Mojave Desert for his perfect advice. Here she is...I think it's awesome! Please don't hold the leaf against me. I mean no disrespect.
