Hello!

Just wondering if anybody here has minute hand and hour hand for my vintage Heuer Carrera 3647N - Valjoux 92 for sale.

The things that are wrong:
Hour and minute hand - too short. I think they are from a Carrera with a tachy scale ring on the dial.
Subdial hands: from a Rolex Cosmograph
Minute tension ring: Strange scale.
Chrono-center hand: Too short, from a Yema Chronograph.

Dial and movement is flawless!

I have managed to buy:
Minute tension ring with correct scale
Correct sub dial hands and chrono-center hand

Oof, tough finds all those - however you're in luck; you've managed to find the hardest of them. What I'd suggest is finding someone with a tachy dial whose watch has had its hands replaced with the non-tachy models, and propose a trade - there are plenty of watches like that out there.

Try posting on the OnTheDash Heuer forum, but do be careful as there are very few protections there - so do your due diligence on any potential trade partners!

Thanks for your response! That thought of swapping dials like that has crossed my mind a while ago. I do really like the black dial with no tachy scale. It´s my favorite version of the Carrera versions.

Oh I meant swap the hands, not the dials 😉

Do you by any chance know anybody who might be interested in such a swap?

I do not personally but like I said I think the Heuer forum's buy/sell board might be a good start - http://www.chronocentric.com/forums/chronotrader/

Don't rush into it, do your due diligence.

Also, you could post a want-to-buy ad in the Marketplace here. It'll get picked up by the search engines and you might find something quickly

Update!
I managed to get a hold of a nos set of hands by pure luck! The subdial hands did not fit at all. So have to find another solution for those!
