Hi, i have an old oyster precision 6426 I believe 1963, only im in a spot of bother! Due to my own doing ive snapped the hour hand 😭 !! Due to the age its probably not going to be easy to get an exact replacement so i was hoping some nice person may know the diamater of the hands hole so maby i can look at other options?
I hope to hear from someone soon ;)

Pretty much the same hour hand as many things.

A 1570 hand will fit the 1210 1220. So one from an Oyster Perpetual Date or Datejust will work.

I just tried a submariner hand on an hour wheel for a 1210 and it fit.

Are your hands a special shape? Can you show a photo?

The hour hand is often easy...it's the minutes and seconds that run into issues....

okay a non lume alphan hand.

Can you get an app mm measure sans pipe?

Well I should have one but I can't find it right now.

Seems like I keep seeing a single one of these floating around in some box...but I can't put my hands on it right now.

Not sure if this was intentional, but it made me chuckle.

Thanks for the reply, if you or anyone does come across one and would be happy to part with it, let me know. On the other hand (no pun intented) its a help to put a name to it and might help me track one down rather than go for a different option.

Does anyone know of any possible suppliers of vintage rolex parts, to try and help me source a new hand?
Thanks
