Still trying to buy my first rolex how do i know if hands are original ?

[Joe Public]

I have a good UK dealer looking for a sub for me but Ive also seen a 14270 for sale elsewhere.

How do I know if the hands are original? Does anyone know where i can see photos of original hands and dial for this model.

Here are some photos of the watch

Thanks in advance for any help !

I may be wrong but if they are glowing and the dial isnt probably were replaced.

I asked the seller he said its even but not working very well. Which is what you'd expect ? Or not working at all ?

Depends on the year of production. I would prob just buy it if you like the watch. I dont think the hand replacement would matter much on this model. But others can tell me if I am wrong

Thanks I'm just going to wear it, if i win it. But was worried about selling it in the future

Well the hands and dial match as far as I can see in the pics. If they have none to very little glow left they're probably original.

The dial is tritium, which would have a very faint glow by now (if any). If the hands glow more when you shine a strong light, or hold in the sun, they’re luminova and so will have been replaced.

If you are buying it, why wouldn't somebody else buy it in the future.
