Euros? Still not bad. I would like to see some more photos, but I would say well done! I like the dial. The tachy is original. Subregister hands look like service hands, as do the hour/minute hands to me.. Lume on the chrono hands matches OK. I would try to find some that match the dial condition better, which you should be able to find. Congrats! M

Here is a wrist shot of my A386, Mk 3 with original hands. Note the pointy Subregister hands are understood to be original to some of the later Mk 3’s like mine; but the other originals were squared off at the top and skinny.

Minutes and hour hands are original for sure.
Here is my other A 386 with service hands and you will see the difference.

So you’re probably right about the sub register dials... but chrono hand, minute and hours are originals.

Here is a picture from halphahands website.
The part about hands from the A386 is really detailed.
You’ll see that the hands and dial lume are same as mine and are perfectly matching.

Upon second look, you may be right. Chrono hand looks original to me. Lume matches really well. Same could be said for hotel/minute hands. There is just so much hand switching with A386s recently coming to market, and, again, Subregister hands look like service to me. Regardless, well done! Good example. Is this Mk 2? Can you send some more pics and the first 4 of the case number, Best!! M
