Hands Finishing.
Mar 23, 2020,21:39 PM
Hello!
I hope everyone with their families and friends are safe and staying home to combat this wretched virus!
As I am home full time now, I took this opportunity to take more photos of my watches to improve my skills and get to know them more intimately. Today, I found out an interesting detail regarding the hands. It appears that the underside are not finished and left rough - now, this doesn’t personally bother me but I’m curious as to whether or not this is standard practice in all brands or not. Also, doesn’t Lange insist that every part seen or unseen is finished to the highest standards?

I don't necessarily think it should be finished- its just an interesting thing to discover!
I was also going to refer to watchfinder YT videos

Yes I do see it with many brands, including Patek Philippe. For example 09:54 on www.youtube.com . But I honestly see it too often in his videos. I would also agree that I would expect better from the likes of PP and ALS.
will do!

im not sure if this is a standard and it certainly doesn't bother me- im more interested in the movement being fully finished with no shortcuts, which I was assured is!
Double reflection?

Perhaps the dial guilloché is being reflected on the mirror-polished underside of the minute hand, and that's what's visible on the XII index?

Both here on instagram! Someone with a Lange moonphase compilation should be able to see the back side refelction of the hand(s) more clearly on the highly polished moon. ;-) This one says hi. ...
Thank you, friend!

Bottom side

You mean the bottom side of the hands are not polished? That’s a little bit like: “he the backside of the moon doesn’t look neat” OMG I would file a claim against them immediately.
