I'm a stickler for originality. I would focus on finding some matching patina hands

Your watch would have had a meters first red letter. Not easy to find and expensive.
Good luck with finding a nice one. Don't really understand question. m

I would keep it as it is, I don't think the quality is there in the case to warrant sourcing such an expensive part. 1+1 will be 2 not 3!

Some darker hands would be a nice addition.
