路Hi all,
I bought an HF-case 105.012-64 (cal. 321) and I'm trying to source an original pair of hour and minute hands.
Unfortunately, the original hands had their white paint stripped before I bought the watch. My watchmaker has suggested restoring them, but I'd much prefer to find an original vintage pair if possible.
I'm not looking for a mint or NOS set. The watch has plenty of honest wear, so I'd actually prefer hands with similar character鈥攁ged paint and even missing tritium would be a great match. The bezel is actually quite blueish, but it doesn't really show in my photo here.
Does anyone have any advice on where to look, or know if these hands were shared with any other 1960s Omega (non-Speedmaster) references from whence I could pluck them? I don't think I've ever said whence before.
Much thanks.
