1680 Hands set

Hi, I'm looking for genuine Rolex 1680 1570 cal. hands set (hour, minute and second hand, prefer yellowish tritium). Is there any recommended site selling these parts? I tried google but I can only find those after market one. Thanks in advance!

Take a look at the for sale section of this site. There is usually one or two members posting those items for sale.

Thanks for the advice. However, I'm unable to post at WTB/FS section for some reason; "your account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page...."

I just sent my 1680 to RSC Singapore for servicing yesterday, I told them not to touch/replace all the cosmetic parts. After they examine the watch, they told me that there are some cracks on the hands, it might break when they remove the hands during the service. If it break they gonna replace with the luminova hands. So I'm looking for a spare in case they break it.

Here's the picture (this the only pic I got, couldn't take a close shot cause watch not with me) to show the color of the patina, if anyone here have a set of hands for sale please let me know, thanks!
