    I bought a Seamaster Chrono 145.006 with the cal. 321. The hands are incorrect and I mistakenly thought it wouldn't be too hard to run down a set. I tried the WTB, was offered some white ones that could be painted. Nice, but I'm not very keen on that.

    So here's my question: The watch needs a service; should I send it to Omega on the off-chance they will have a handset?

    The watch:

    I look forward to your thoughts.

    If you send your watch to Omega, they might change the hands for correct ones but it will be luminova. But i never tried to send a watch with wrong hands to them...
