    I beleive this one has incorrect minute and hour hands, incorrect hand on left subdial, and wrong crown.
    I think the dial is original and correct? Any ideas where I can source correct hands and crown?

    Thanks!

    People call them "unobtainium" around here, you are not the first knight of the round table leaving the court hunting for the holy grail. All I can wish to you is merry Christmas and may the force be with you in your hunt.

    Thanks, in fact I gpt a pair from him a few months back but the holes at the base were too small
    to fit on the post? Maybe can be reamed out but the one watch guy I brought it to said no.

    I believe a competent watchmaker should be able to adapt that. @Archer. Am I wrong in such an assumption?

    Angle of shot I presume. dial looks good, hands are a mix-up.
