Haltec 0 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Guys, Did anyone tried to replace (on no date regmarimer) hour hand (wide one) for proper specified one (narrow one) for that ref model? Any sugesstions where to purchase hands set ? And is there a place where a flat cut second hand can be bought for same (regmariner) model. Watch comes from Reg with bit rounded seconds hand so I would like to know wether there's an swap option. Thanks Haltec Edited October 5, 2017 by Haltec Font size ??

Griffo 6 Posted October 5, 2017 Think these are the ones needed? http://rafflestime.com/submariner-watch-hands-for-dg-2813-merc-w-broader-min-hand/ These as well? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Submariner-Watch-Hands-for-DG-2813-Miyota-8200-Merc-White-/162680229641?hash=item25e07f4f09:g:ywwAAOSwoJZXSY9i I'm more than likely wrong though, so wait for someone else to chime in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

k4jun 251 Posted October 6, 2017 HR and Tiger also do sell the parts, usually you can opt for a same watch with eta/a21 movement, so hope you may find the hands here http://www.helenarou.com/ http://www.tiger-concept.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Griffo 6 Posted November 28, 2017 Quick update on this - asked a few people and seems to be that these ones will be fine: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162680229641 Have just ordered them and will let you know how i get on (I'm not the best at doing things to watches...)

Foxindebox 462 Posted December 5, 2017 I have a feeling these will glow green and not blue. I've not found any DG 2813 hands with blue lume when I've searched in the past... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Griffo 6 Posted December 9, 2017 Received the hands today. The seem a bit small? Does the crystal magnify them? (I have no date) or is that how they’re supposed to be? I’ll take a pic shortly. Sadly I don’t have a watch hand tool to change them, so if they’re the right ones I’ll have to send it to Rolie when he can fit it in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have a hand removal tool - will tweezers do? Do they look a bit small/thin? Or is that how they're meant to look and the Regmariner ones are too fat? If they seem to be the right ones to you guys, i'll perhaps just see if Rolie can fit me in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rokerite 2,441 Posted December 12, 2017 Am not an expert but aren't the green lumed hands pre maxi dial ? If so the older subs hands were thinner I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’re probably right. I wondered whether they may be 5 digit hands rather than 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freddyb 0 Posted January 8, 2018 Hi guys, Note to mod: If it is an offence to necro/bump a thread please kindly remove this post. I am also intrigued by this topic as well and I don't think that it is wise to start another fresh thread on this. I have placed an order with Reg for a hulk and the only gripe i have is that the hands are a dead give away aesthetically. I don't mind purchasing the correct set of hands elsewhere and get it fitted by a watch smith but I need to know which link is the correct one and hope someone can point me in the right direction.

According to Griffo (OP), the hands he ordered from ebay doesn't seem to be the correct one? I'm confused. It shouldn't be green lume but blue lume to match the indices right? It'd be hilarious to have green hands and blue indices. Anyone can confirm that this is the correct one? TLDR: I am interested to change reg's hands to the correct one and would like some help on where can i get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
