    Never seen those hands on UG before and certainly not for a UG from the 40s

    Most of us are not focused on this era of UG. Still not appropriate for the watch.

    It’s impossible to say those are the same hands, especially since the one photo of your watch is so blurry. It’s also unlikely that hands from relatively modern chronograph would fit on a time only caliber 263 from 1946 ?

    the most you could say is perhaps the hands shape is similar, and it again proves how wrong it is to have modern shape hands on your vintage watch.

    yes you are totally right in any case it's all quite strange but apart from that it's a very beautiful watch the case is quite unique and beautiful and pi it is entirely original except perhaps apart from the hands and I maybe think about keeping it anyway
