Seiko fff needs new hands

[glengoyne17]

I have a JakeB fff modded Seiko. It still has the original hands with the tip on the seconds made red.

What bugs me is that the seconds hand metal is a different shade of metal (more shiny) compared to hours and minutes, even if they come from the same set. Also lume on the dial in daylight is bright white and on the hands it is off white.

Searched for other hands here but due to lighting and reflections it is hard to see which other hands match the white on the dial better and are all three of the same metal. Hoping for some suggestions from people who found perfect matching hands.

The Seiko hands use LumiBrite paint, which is like Superluminova C3 so it is off-white (or green) and glows green. The lume used on the FFF dial is more like Superluminova C1, which is white and glows green.

You can try purchasing a hand set that uses Superluminova C1 if you want the day appearance to match the indices on the dial. Yobokies and 10Watches both sell C1 lume hands.
