Question about 6309 hands

[epiphany]

I'm looking for some OEM hands for my 6309. Are the hour and minute hands on a 6309 the same as those on a SKX007 or -031? They look the same (at least in photos) but have different parts numbers.

They look similar shape wise but they are different.  As to whether or not they will actually fit on the movement I could not tell you.

7S26 hands will fit the 6309.

6309 hands are flat faced.

7S26 hands are rounded.

7S26 hands are green all of the time.

6309 hands are supposed to be white lume (not sure which C (1 or3) is white or green)

They are different as seen here ...


The SKX hands have beveled edges where the 6309 hands are flat. They all have the same sized holes so are interchangeable.

Have you tried Stefan? He is on eBay as schillachi61. Stefan just got a motherload of rare stuff including lots of hands.

NOS hands come up for auction on ebay occasionally but they aren't cheap. Last set I noticed were sitting around the $70 mark when I stopped watching.

You can also check out collections_at_home. He also has a set of hands for a 6309

Thanks for all the information, I knew I could count on you guys.

So they're different. The reason I asked is because I saw a NOS set of "original 6309-7040 hands" (in original bubble packaging) being offered at local auction for US$60.Since the part numbers were clearly visible in the photos, I found that only the seconds hand is a genuine 6309 part, the hour and minute hands being SKX031 parts.

Based on the knowledge I gained here, I have since written to the seller pointing out which is which, and made an offer on the seconds hand. He replied by saying my offer was good, but please give him a chance to relist.

Thanks again, Wristsushi!
