Omega Cal 601 strage looking hands

hoipolloi · Apr 17, 2012

Yes I do, and I can see some lume left at the end of 1 o'clock marker.

Janbart · Apr 18, 2012

Yeah clear!

hoipolloi · Apr 20, 2012

Dear friends.
I have a question for you

What type of hands you think will fit on that dial the best ?

Best.

MSNWatch · Apr 20, 2012

thin stick

hoipolloi · Apr 20, 2012

Yes.

And what should that "stick" look like ? 😉

ulackfocus · Apr 20, 2012

Just like the ones on the C-case 168.017 or the Seamaster DeVilles of the mid 60's.

hoipolloi · Apr 21, 2012

Looking at the markers, I guess on that "stick" there should be 2 parts, the black paint and the lume . The normal one won't fit.

Is this a test?

Here's a watch I found online:

Dial is not exactly the same as yours, but I think the hands should fit. I don't think the black hands go with a tritium dial.

Did I pass or fail?

Those were the exact hands I was thinking about. I give you an A.

hoipolloi · Apr 21, 2012

Sure, you get an A, Gator.

But with my dial, I need something like this

The hands should have 2 parts, one with black paint and some lume on the tip end.

Don't know if Ofrei have them ?

I think they are the same. I don't know who would stock them either. If Ofrei.com doesn't have them, try Jules Borel. Problem is that I also don't know the part number for these hands.

Good luck, Hoi,

Yea the pic you posted has the same white lume on the tips, just the angle of the watch made the hands pick up the light more and its blended in, if you up the contrast you can see the white lume tips on that C-case are the same as that Seamaster's hands.

hoipolloi · Apr 21, 2012

Well, they are not the same. The one with one stripe and the other with 2 parts (black paint and lume)

Let's look at the one on top, it has only one stripe and you can put black paint or lume in it, depends on lumed markers or black onyx inserts (or black paint markers)

the one below has 2 parts, the black paint and lume on tip end. This kind of hands go with the markers that have black paint (or onyx inserts) on top of the markers with lume dots at the ends .

You got a C this time 😉

gatorcpa · Apr 22, 2012

Am I missing something here?

Another pic of watch I posted earlier:

Pic of watch with hands that you want:

Both watches have the 2-part hands. Both presumably have 56X movements, so the hands should be compatible in size, if not in length.

I think I need to appeal my grade to the academic authorities, 📖

Hey gator, I gave you an A. Even though Hoi lives in Canada I think he's a Russian judge. 😜

(old American Olympic joke for those of you who don't understand)

hoipolloi · Apr 22, 2012

Those hands should not be there. They should be on my dial to be correct.

and here are the correct hands for that watch.

hoipolloi · Apr 22, 2012

Sorry Gator.

Now I see what you posted.
I gave you the wrong A. Sorry.

The pic is blurry and I thought the hands had black paint only.
