How hard is it to source cal 321 drop arrow hands? With original tritium. Have yet to see any but i am looking for the speedy i have that is only missing hands Anyone ever go through this dilema?
It's not a dilemma, it's part of the fun! I see plenty of luminova handsets like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-OMEGA-...yle-DAUPHINE-2915-2998-Hand-Set-/381731363921Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Just a list of places I've used: tz-uk.com; obsoletewatchandclockparts.com; ebay.com. You can also try r/watchexchange on reddit (bit of a long shot). I'm not sure that watchrecon is set up to find parts but it might be. You can definitely try a "WTB" on watchuseek. Good luck with the hunt!
Would watchuseek members actually know what the OP is looking for? Posting links to new service hands isn't much help btw.
Thanks for the help, definitely will be looking for a true vintage handset. With tritium i have a set that looks original but its a service replacement with matched lume. The rest of the watch is perfection as far as originallity goes
I managed to pick up links to a rare bracelet on there so I'd be prepared to give it a shot for a handset.
A good watchmaker can take the new service hands and make them look like vintage originals quite effectively colour matching and replacing the luminova. As labour intensive as that sounds its usually cheaper and gives a better result.
Thats pretty much what i have on it now, matches and looks like it could he original but theyre luminova and glow. I think its for my own piece of mind knowing i have a period correct vintage handset with proper tritium for me more so than the color being there
