Can't help really, but this would make an interesting quiz.

Here's the sellers guide to the hands.Just wondering if anyone can comment on authenticity as its a new seller.Not saying I'm doubtful just that I'm no expert and value learned opinions on here.
Thanks.

They appear genuine but I would definitely need better photos. On most of the aftermarket second hands, there is no taper in the hand going from the tritium circle to the tip. If the hand is the same width from the tritium circle to the end of the hand, it is aftermarket. Also the small, round metal piece at the end of the second hands is always larger than that found on genuine hands. Below are some GMT hands to compare showing genuine and aftermarket.
