Help with hand swap on a Railmaster 2403

I have an incoming 39mm Railmaster and I'm seriously playing with the idea of having the hands replaced so that I can have a Broad arrow Hour hand and a Dauphine minute hand.
I checked Otto Frei, but the specs are not very specific, plus they just told me that the Swach group just cut off their supply permanently.

Does anyone know the specifics well enough to tell me the part numbers I would need (with the correct lengths of the hands?

Thanks

I dont know the part numbers, but you need hands from a caliber 1120/2500 series to fit your Railmaster caliber 2403. I dont know if there are Broad Arrow hands on those calibers, the Planet Ocean 2500 hands might be what you need (below)

Hello Franciso.
Yes, hands from a 2500 PO was what I was thinking. The only problem is that I want the minute hand to be Dauphine (non-broad arrow).

Thanks for posting

Does anyone know if any of the Speedmaster Braod Arrow hand sets would work??

Bit of an old thread, but I've been contemplating the same idea for my 2403 powered De Ville; I'd like blue dauphine hands. From my research, since the base calibre is an ETA 2892, any hand meant for that (or a 2824) will work!

Did it with the hands from Otto Frei.

That’s what was missing from the original design. Good on you mate!
