Where can I get some really interesting hands to fit a 6497 mechanism?

[Tom]

I'm putting together a couple of projects at the moment with unitas mechanisms, but don't want to use PAM hands or the one or two other, rather old fashioned options that Ofrei gives you.

Does anyone know where I could source any other styles of hands for a 6497? I would really like some hands like the ones on the PAM Arktos but they are for a 7750.

At the very least it would be really useful to know the hand sizes for the 6497 (and yes I a have already searched the forum but couldn't find a thread on this)

Thanks in advance.

Hand sizes of the 6497 is

Hour 2.00mm

Minute 1.15mm

Seconds 0.27mm

You may be able to find interesting hands from old pocket watches that used this movement.

Try Jimmy Fu - he had Panerai style hour & minute hands, but in 3 colours - gold, silver and glossy blue/black. I know that the shape is the same as Panerai but the colour variation makes a significant change. Many 'Ristis used his gold hands on their 210 for a totally different effect.
