Hands size for cal. 27-460M
Good day!
I have an abused 3445 that I purchased a couple years back that needs to be re-cased. Being a wonderful movement, I'd like to breath new life into it by having a one-off case done in either steel or gold, at a larger 38-40mm size. With that being said, does anyone know the hand size for the hour, minute and sub-second hand, as with the larger case size, I'll also need to have some hands made. I'm really looking forward to the project, as a movement of this quality deserves to carry in in spite of its broken case.
Thanks for any help!

A stupid question:
Why don't you take the whole package to Patek and ask what they could do? I recently asked them to change half of my Nautilus case and I was surprised because the whole project was not a rip-off. Furthermore, Patek changed both the dial and the hands of a...

hi kari, care to explain a little more about what have been done to a Nautilus case? and is it necessary for the watch to function? thanks in advance. j
Very simple;
the lower part of the case was changed to a new one. This part consists the sides of the case and the back of the case as one piece of metal. A non-competent former AD of Patek tried to engrave to the case back and the result was awful. However, the engra...

after all i believe Patek will replace original parts upon request but not customize parts for aesthetic reason.
Sounds like you're looking to do the work yourself?
I would suggest taking it to Patek for obvious reasons. Aloha, Bob
