Love the look so I haven’t rushed to correct the hands, but are correct hour/minute hands available if I send it into Omega? Appreciate any thoughts.

Can’t answer your question, but I dig those hands as well. Personally, I’d leave as is and enjoy. Gives the watch a slightly dressier vibe. If you do get service hands, they would have luminova and the lume plots would not match the dial as well as what you have now.

Good point

I should have just PM'd you in the first place! Thank you.

Well, better to ask here so if anyone needs the answer, it's freely available to them.

Hi @Archer - do you have the Omega part number for 165.027/166.027 hands? My watchmaker said the case number wasn’t in the extranet, and even let me watch him typing it in. He tried 166.027, 166.0027, 165.027, 165.0027…. Nothing worked

We tried 165.024 and 165.0324 (other case numbers I knew off the top of my head) and they worked just fine, so I don’t think it was user error.

Thanks!

Hour and minute hands are 065PZ8186

Seconds hand is listed as 066UP1378

Not sure how your watchmaker was looking, but I followed the normal steps to find this. Enter the case number, and once you have the page that shows the case there are 2 ways.

1 - click on the case, and when the window pops up, click on "hand" in the menu in the pop up window where it says "specific use case"

2 - on the page where the case is listed, expand the option that starts with "CS STRU" and it lists all parts for the entire watch - case parts, hands, dial, and movement parts.

Thank you, I really appreciate it! I will go in again on Monday to give him the numbers.
