I would get if sorted now and be finished with the potential concern.

Have to agree and even Rolex dont make the hands a firm called Aiguilles makes all the watch hands for all models.

Lume is lume and at least the hands match.

It will be sorted at next service?

If they're genuine I wouldn't care. I'd wait and see if Rolex would even pick up on this during a standard service.

I would keep it this way. I think it looks very cool and unique.

I’d change them, but that’s just me

I don't really understand the fascination with "errors." If you bought a new car and the door handle didn't match, would you think it was cool and collectible, or a problem that the dealer should fix right away?

Especially with something like lume not matching. Anyone could open a watch and swap out the correct hands for the wrong hands and attain the same rarity and look.

I'd rather things be right rather than unique, but if you like it like that, that's all that matters.

I dig it. It's a really nice way to show break it up at night. Omega also does this on their PO watches.
