BGW9 snowflake hands V2 pics

Thought it is worth adding some pics, as they speak the quality of these hands. I always come back to Lucius Atelier when I need a good set of hands 😎👍🏿

Very Impressed

To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure the hands would be worth their cost, but I was dead wrong. The finish and lume are incredible, and the service from purchase to delivery was conscientious and quick. I've gotten plenty of hands in my brief time modding, and these are by far the best.

Snowflake hands

The snowflake hands is pretty nice. Just the lume is not as bright as snowflake dial. Overall still nice hands.

Hey Patrick! Thanks for the review!! Actually it is not that the hands are not bright. It is that the snowflake dial is brighter because the snowflake dial uses A Grade BGW9 - the highest grade lume, while the hands are Standard Grade BGW9. This have been explained in the dial description. If all is Standard Grade, it will look very bright, if all is A Grade, it will also look very bright. However, if you mix 2 different grades, 1 will look brighter than the other. Hope this make sense to you =)

Beautiful hands but too tight.

It breaks my heart to rate these 2 stars they are GORGEOUS and the color is great. I just could not for the life of me get the minute hand on square. I'm new to modding but have done a good 7 or so watches so far and while I struggle with the seconds hand I usually have no issue with the minute. I made a real mess of this hand set and could not get it to sit square on the pinion no matter what. Everytime I touched it with the hand tool it would slip a fraction of a mm and after 3 attempts I ruined it. Will try to find another BGW9 snow flake hand set. But LA have set a VERY high bar in terms of looks finish and style. I will order another set and leave an updated review if the work better for me.

Perfect match

These V2 hands really are a perfect match for the Deep Diver dial. When they're not charged the white lume plots are exactly the same colour. When they're glowing the blue is exactly the same hue and the same intensity. It makes your modded watch look properly integrated. Dial and hands are very well made and they're certainly worth the asking price.

Remarkable quality

I had the first generation of these hands. Although the fit and finish was excellent, the lume a little underwhelming, if I'm honest. That has been fixed here. This is a top notch hand set. Everything matches perfectly, and the fit & finish are again perfect. Worth every penny.

A little diappointed

Received the hands yesterday. When I opened the package, I discovered that the finishing is a little rough and unpolished on the edges. Also even though the pictures show that the hands blend with the dial, through the naked eye, the hands looks dimmer than the indices on the matching dial. Finally I wished that the hour hand is wider and stubbier like the actual snowflake hour hand on the Black Bay.

Although these hands are much better than other hands I bought, I'm still not sure I can recommend them considering the negatives I mentioned above.

Thank you for your honest review and details Raymond! As I have pass on the message to our production team, this will definitely help us to constantly improve on our coming products. Thanks again!

Great Quality

I’ve used these hands on an Orient Ray II. They fit perfectly and look quite sharp! The quality is great as well and they reflect light beautifully!

Wow, that is interesting. Rarely see anyone fitting our parts onto Orient watches. Very nicely done. Thank you so much for the review and sharing your mod with everyone! Greatly appreciated!

Hello David!

Thanks for expressing interest in our mod parts.

They will be back around late Jan '20 to early Feb '20.

Please note that as the dimensions are changed and luminous are more bright, they will be listed as v2 and *IMPROVED* on another listing.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Cheers,
Adriel
