    I am looking for a set of Chronomaster hands similar to the attached picture. Different colors were used for different dial styles, I would prefer black main hands to match the panda dial but will of course take whatever is available and have my watchmaker match them to the watch. Beggars can't be choosers :)

    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Todd

    P.S. The pic was taken from a google image search and I couldn't find the owner of the watch, so I apologize in advance for using without permission.

    So Todd, you found a white dial Newman?
    Nice. What kind of hands on it?
    Here's mine if it helps.

    Wow, that's really nice! Dibs please!

    This one is a little bit of a project. I picked up a dial on eBay last year, and the donor watch on eBay last week. The case is in nice shape but the dial has seen much better days - it seemed like a good match for the dial sitting in my parts box. Condition isn't outstanding, but it should tide me over until a nicer one comes along one day.

    Now I just need hands! :)

    I knew I needed subdials, but it does look like your subdial hands are different than the pic I lifted. If we're going by condition and originality I'm going to go ahead and assume that yours are correct :)

    Don't mean to crow, but this one is Near Mint to Mint.
    Lume is still green. I'm pretty sure it's untouched.
    Subdial hands don't look like they've been off and
    Shafts look to be painted white, the rest steel.
    Gotta work on the way that bracelet sits though.
