wrong second-hand on a Carrera 12 ref 2447 SN *PIC*

Will i be able to buy a new second hand for my 1964 Carrera 12 ref 2447 SN.?????
I bought it last year, fantastic condition, love it to bits, but it appears to have the wrong colour second hand. Its a white face with 3 black subdials so according to all the images on "onthedash.com" it should have a black second hand, mine is white.
Firstly, is it wrong should it be black???
Not a big problem if it is wrong, but when i next get it serviced it would be nice to swap it for the correct one.
Any ideas were to get one from? or should i just paint it??? if so what kind of paint would be best??
Would it be a job i could attempt myself??

Thanks

Phil
