It is funny how fashion changes with regard to services. My father has boxes of old Rolex hands and dials from his time working there. Most are the old Radium hands with the patina that everyone loves today, but back then most wanted to ‘upgrade’ the old, brown, dirty hands to shiny new tritium ones.
Luckily for us, my dad kept all these. As good watchmakers know, you never throw anything out...we now often refit these during watch restorations.
