    all, please help me with the length on a set of new hands from ofreii. I am looking at the following but do not know which ones to purchase. I do not want to order the wrong ones.

    Baton hands 1 available: http://www.ofrei.com/omega-watch-hands-caliber-321-861.html

    I am looking to purchase the full set but need advise on which ones to purchase.

    Hour, minute, second and sub dial hands needed.

    I would go with the HAN-4000, 4001, and 4240 just from looking at them. I'm pretty sure that the hour, minute, and Chrono sweep second hand will all have luminova on them so they won't look vintage if that's what you're after. Definitely wait for a second opinion before you order anything however.

    for a -69, I think luminova is a last resort.

    You can also age luminova, which is one step better than above.

    But really you search for tritium hands.

    If you do go for new luminova versions, the chrono hand size should be 14.75mm rather than the 14.25mm version listed on Ofrei
    Up until recently they had the 14.75 as #2210, but maybe this is NLA?
    On a side note it appears they no longer have the 321 spear ended chrono either, perhaps the Swatch group restrictions are starting to take hold.

    Yeah, I figured I would ask you guys since you are knowledgeable on the subject.
    I didn't want to order the wrong hands so I appreciate any input. My main concern as 72c stated was the size.
    So I am searching for 14.75mm right? I know Ofrei only has 13mm and 14mm(something like that).

    I agree with Taddyangle - set yourself up an eBay alert for tritium hands. They're not terribly difficult to come by, and not all that expensive.

    14mm is correct for the minute hand size wize.
