Replacing the hands on a Borealis Sea Diver?

[MrThompsonR]

Has anyone done this? If so, can you post the hole sizes needed? Not sure these will fit?

A couple pics of the hands I'd like to add…

These are from a Tudor/ Rolex Submariner

The Sea Diver uses a Miyota 8215 movement so you have to make sure hands you're planning to replace with are for a Miyota 8215. Also make sure hands do fit in terms of dial dimensions.

Occasionally the stem may need to be cut on the seconds, they can be too long depending where you got the hands from.

it can be done. you have a bunch of aftermarket parts for Miyota 82xx series. personally , I would go for plongeur hands, with orange minutes hand.

Plenty of option on the net to replace the hands, as the guys mentioned, just look for miyota 82.. series
Yobokies has really nice plongeur hands for example.

 

[bill anagnos]

Yes Yobbkies has them also just google hands for the 82 series and you will find one online

Looks like these should work...?

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

The text says it is for Miyota 8215 series so should do the job (taking into account detail on dial size, seconds hand stem, ...)

You might consider checking the length of the hands you would like to install. I believe Sea Diver have big dial diameter.

Is there anybody here who can suggest a place to get a set of hands like the Seafarer but for my Sea Diver w/BGW9 lume a well? and Thanks for info in advance!

 

[bill anagnos]

I would not use gold tone, I do not think you would like the contrast or too much of it. I would change with like type merc hands,

 

[olly74]

I think plongeur hands in stainless steel or with orange Minute hand will look nice for the Sea Diver...

I guess sword style hands would look the best on a clean looking watch like the Borealis Sea Diver.

Forgot to post the "after" pics…

I actually prefer the original hands on the Sea Diver, there is almost a Bauhaus simplicity to the dial and hands on that watch.

 

[TheWraith]

^ Agreed, mleok.

I do agree with u both, "The Wraith" and "mleok", the Bauhaus style fits better, no doubt, no use to custom this one !
