    Looking for a handset (mainly hour minute and sweep 14.75mm) for a pre 1996 c.861. Let me know if you have anything or even just the chrono sweep.
    As you can see in this pic, the one I have is incorrect for the reference.

    Hi Oddboy - Thanks for that, mate. I do know about those, but I am trying to avoid getting a new sweep if I can help it because of the stark colour contrast of the lozenge being superluminova. If it comes to it I could get a new piece from Omega (which is less expensive than the Offrei sweep second) and pull out the lume and refill with my own matching tint - not too difficult a project, but messy.

    I can't get a close up of the Han-2210, but looking at it again the colour doesn't look as stark as I initially thought.

    Cheers
    John

    Is it repairable - looks like it. A shame it's not white. That lozenge colour is perfect!
