Vintage Rolex datejust 1601 Replacement hands update

[cgasgarth]

A few weeks ago I posted asking about where to get replacement hands that would match my Rolex dial so here it is:

I ended up going to TWBG to have the hands replaced with Rolex factory white gold hands and have both those and the new dial installed which totaled $215 including 2 day UPS insured shipping both ways. The hands were $120 and it was $50 to have them and the dial installed. Unfortunately, the old hands on the watch had to be sent back to Rolex to be lost forever but its just a Datejust and finding some no lume hands in good condition shouldn't be that hard should I decide to switch back, Im fairly certain I won't though. TWBG did a good job at a fair price but the communication was lacking but I understand that this job was probably their lowest priority. And some pictures:

Love the blue dial watch - classy.

Rolex are beautifully crafted fitted with superb movements. The downside is they are expensive when genuine replacement parts are required.
