Many thanks for the supportive comments and tips rich, always valued and appreciated!

: 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
