Hi,
Looking for the correct "true vintage" (hence not original service parts) to fix my Speedmaster, serial 145.0022.
I had it all serviced, only the condition of the hands is not what I was hoping for, in particular the chrono seconds hand.

Anyone?

The hands look like appropriate vintage hands to me--a bit of aging, but also consistent with the dial. If they're truly bothering you, restoring (ie, repainting) the original hands is likely to yield better results than trying to locate NOS vintage replacements without the tiniest bit of "shop wear."

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Not very comfortable with repainting and therewith possibly create a Franken...

The hands as is look perfect - wouldn't replace them.

A good watchmaker can clean and refill those hands, no need to repaint them

Even with service hands would hardly call it "Franken"
