The price of hands? How about $23,000 for these?
In Response To: Very nice - I did just reply on tzuk ()

This discussion about the possibility of having some hands made -- and the difficulty of finding the old ones -- came to mind when I saw this eBay listing . . .

http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-ROLEX-6541-MILGAUSS-HANDS-ORIGINAL-NEW-OLD-STOCK-/270800851140

That's right, $23,000 for original Rolex Milgauss hands. Hey, I wonder whether you might be able to pop them onto an old Autavia?

: don't know if laser cutting is feasible, but a quick google

: Good luck!
