Having now found a pair of hands the watchmaker won't commit to me buying them as he is still looking for a pair so states that if I buy the ones I've located he wont refund the money if he finds a pair. Given that hes now had the watch 3 months after quoting 3-4 weeks lead time I'm loathed to give him much more time as I probably won't see the watch this year!
