Where to source Accutron GMT handset?
I'm lucky enough to have a nice example of a 1964 Accutron Astronaut GMT.
Without being too boring, it's a watch that bridges 2 huge interests of mine.
Wristwatches and Aviation.
The watch wears it's age well and I'm happy to leave the dial and everything else, "as-is".
That said, I am considering trying to track down a set of NOS hands and installing them for the sake of legibility.
I'd keep the original handset too on the off chance I ever move this on.
I've included a pic of the current state of my installed handset, particularly the decayed lume.
Now I don't want to relume the dial, nor have new hands glowing like a torch.
I just want a more legible set for my own comfort when wearing.
I've had a quick trawl through Google and the usual sites but I can only find 3 hander sets and all those have a different design to the hands.
If anyone knows where I may be able to find a suitable handset?
I'd be indebted and very grateful.
