Are these hands genuine vintage sub?

Hello,

I'd like to know if these hands are genuine, these are the only pictures I have. Is it possible to know?

I would not buy them based on those pictures.

Anyway, second hand central post is too long.

That hour hand looks like it was made with a tin opener!

IMO
Hour and second hand are fake, poor quality and wrong shape.
Minutes hand most probably as well

The sweep seconds hand is not correct for a 5513 Submariner.

Here is a thread identifying vintage Sub hands.

A few things are still out sourced by Rolex, like mainsprings they are made by Schwab-Feller AG, all movement bearing and cap jewels, watch crystals, spring-bars, out sourced and a firm called Aiguilles makes all the watch hands for all models.
