Thought the hive might be able to help on this.

I'm going to have my skx013 upgraded with a NH36. Basically it's running way out of time and demagnetizing hasn't worked long term.

Regulating or servicing the watch is about half the cost of a new hacking / winding movement.

My question is about the hands.

As they come off anyway, changing them is free. I'd quite like a orange minute hand and although I think the polished silver hands work now it's on a bracelet, I didn't like them on black straps.

Any thoughts on hand options? I'd like to keep an OEM look and feel.

Two wrists are me, orange is probably spot on, but open to options.

I like an orange minute hand a lot on a diver, it’s one of my favourite things about my Squale 50 Atmos. Think it suits the 013 too, it plays nicely with the orange dial text.

The other Squale hands are white. Do you think polished silver would work the same way?

Another thought is to go for sword(?) hands like on your Squale. I feel the Omega(?) dagger ones are too chunky for the face size once you factor in the round hour markers.
