    Where can I buy a set of original gold coloured leaf hands for my watch (pics attached)? I have been told that the hands should be gold and not silver like mine. I have tried the outlets mentioned in previous posts on here to no success. Does the fact that this is a larger watch make my search even more difficult? It is a caliber 28.10 but could I possibly use leaf hands from another caliber or even from a Tissot? Thanks for your advice in advance :)

    Well if you want genuine Omega you have to go to to Omega.
    There is eBay and miscellaneous sellers, but no guarantee of authenticity

    You could also have a jeweler plate them in gold.

    As said above, you could try to have the hands replated. It is not easy for an amateur, but a professional jeweler or a plating specialist could do the job.

    So I have bought these hands to replace the silver ones. Have I bought the right thing? They say the hands are for the 300 caliber and i assume that includes the 351 which has lots of similarities to the 28.10 which I have. Took a gamble but having a hard time finding what I need.

    13mm minute hand and 8mm hour hand. I would have posted a request on the section of the board for people looking for parts but as I am relatively new I dont have the permission yet. I’m not sure if the numbers on my dial are rose gold or just gold that has aged. Its hard to tell. I’d be happy to buy a pair of either or both colours. Thanks for your help.
