I'd like a replacement set of hands for the Timex I'm working on but cannot find anything. Can anyone recommend which replacement hands may work? 29.3mm crystal.

Thanks

Gee: this is quite the Wide-Open question!

What about deciding what style you'd like / taking a few measurements ( post diameter / length ) / color that looks good, then--once you had all this in front of you--just doing an Internet Search, and seeing what's out there?

Should be fun, and I think there's a good chance you would find things that you like.

Problem is. Doesn't look like you have much post there for the hour and minute pinion. Can't really get an idea of height based on your image.

Sometimes. Movement is designed to fit factory hands only and trying to adapt other hands turns into a real job.

Based on the dial design. I would look for something similar to Omega De Ville styled hands as in this image. Non luminous

Beside holes size. Measure from the center of the minute pinion post to the minute markers and that will give you the hand length. Sold as pairs, but hour length should be just before the flat of the numbers

Call a parts supplier and ask for generic hands to fit your measurements

Yea I likely have those hands. I will look in my kit and see. That's a I believe a marlin model with a cal24 mvt. Pretty much any Timex mech 60-70's hands will fit but length will vary. I'll let you know.

I don't have any nos hands for that however I have a set of old hands that are for the 1030 case. They will clean up fine. If you want them just send me shipping. PM me.
