Hi Dean
I love these 2nd execution 2446, a very nicely balanced dial and very hard to come by, so congrats on your find! It's very very tough to get the hands for this watch so I totally understand why you have put some re manufactured 1st exec dauphine hands on, and I agree it looks better than the plain steel ones from the 3rd exec. You've also gone for a new looking bezel from another brand to smarten it up although I think I'd prefer the original one you have, because although it would look scruffier it's still a nicely aged one, but that's just me. However the bottom line is it's your watch and you should wear it however you prefer and see fit! I'm sure in time you'll track down the original hands, patience and hunting is normally rewarded! I will certainly keep a look out for you, wear it well til then!
Cheers
Rich
