Aged service hands from the look of it, and if you read another of Jonathan's posts, they had a 24 tooth crown as a used part... but supply of these is dwindling into nothing.

路As collectors of vintage watches most of never get to know the journey our watches have been on. Imagine owing a watch that might have been a few cm from Madonna's knickers. Loved your story and no doubt the watch will pick up a few more tales before the next guardian gets to enjoy it.
Enjoy your watch
Thankyou @lillatroll . I think my Dad encountered all sorts of odd things during his time working at Christies in London. I think it will have a quite time in the red Omega pouch for a while.

路What a great thing to read. Don't go leaving it in that service pouch, though. Put it on your wrist and make some memories and scratches for the next generation to remember.

路Who, however, do not seem to have provided a complete rate report. 馃檨
Yes valid point @watchtinker... I will give them a call. Maybe they will provide one. I think regular users of STS will know more about this and be able to comment. I'm still very much a novice.
Thankyou.馃憤

路For a bloke that knew nuffink when you joined you've come a long way and in the process you've contributed to the forum in a most positive manner.
A big BZ to you for that and a thankyou from me for showing that chocolate dial.

The 24 tooth Crown is a vintage original but the hands are correct but aged to match the lume. I have the full set of service hands that were taken off by STS. Funny thing really because they are incorrect for this reference but over 40 years old and still very much vintage.
The pushers, crystal and DON bezel are original to the watch. The hands glow a little longer than the hour plots but I think Lee did a pretty good job with the colour match.
Cheers!馃憤
