Hi guys,
Any ideas where i might be able to track down hands for the Cal 11/ 12? At some point my TransOcean had new, non original hands fitted and i'm after something more like the originals.

They're pretty tough to find but I just bought a set from Watchco in Australia. A bit pricey for hands but what can you do. They have a few different options too.

I'm assuming those hands have to be painted?

Also I wonder if they got the small ones for the subregisters? Not needing it but just wondering...

I bought a complete set of hands from Watchco for a ref 2111 I'm redoing. Had to have one of the sub register hands painted black but the others were the correct color.
