Sub 16800 vintage hands

Hello guys,

I am looking for replacement hands for a sub 16800 as the current ones got scratched when trying to be cleaned.

Does anyone know where to find a set of original hands from that time? Some slight patina is essential to match the rest of the dial.

Thanks!
Vittorio

I'd contact some of the bigger vintage dealers/vintage watchmakers. They should be able to source you a set pretty quickly.

Thanks, I had found his website digging around.

The only concern is the price of the tritium set (around €400 + labour).

Am I missing something or is the price fair..?

We have a ton of NOS sets for 1500 series but not much for 3035. Check with my friend John at First Class Dials or Nick Gogas
