    Advice needed on hands for Seiko Mod

    I recently picked up this Seiko 7002 UDT Mod; I love it, and I think it looks awesome with this bezel. I'm a little confused on which hands to put on this. I'm not a fan of the ones that the original owner put on it. The color of the lume on the dial is very green, and it's hard to find hands that match that color. I was told by Harold Ng from Yobokies and Jake B that I need something with C3. Any advice?

    These would be my choices, all are C3 from 10 Watches:

    Broadsword B+W


    Coffin B+W


    Coffin vintage if you want to keep some orange in the hands


    I think the straight ends of the coffin hands compliment the dial markers nicely and would be my choice. The B+W are more discreet, the black base parts "blend" into the face for a cleaner look. While the vintage are more bold and in keeping with the orange theme.

    If you go with B+W hands you could always add a touch of orange with the secs hand.

    For something completely different in style MotorCity WatchWorks has plongeurs in C3

    I vote for the Coffin B+W but like the black plunger that's on it now, maybe keep it and get it re-lumed with C3? Plus the Coffin hand go great with the skeleton frog.

    These are a couple from yobokies with C3 that I'm considering. I'm leaning strongly towards the Doxa style hands.

    Both great choices as well. I'd be hard pressed to choose between the two. Maybe a slight bias toward the second set because I really like lance second hands. I think either set would look great.
