replacing hands isn't a huge deal, but depending on level of patina it can look odd. My example in particular seems to have the original hands (from what I can tell and the opinion of some knowledgeable folks) and it looks right. But replaced hands aren't the worst thing, funky stuff with the dial is much worse in my opinion.

I'd rather my watch not look like a smurf barfed all over the dial ...  

Wow 🤩 P T 👍

Although I do not understand what your joke is about, it seems quite funny 😄

Haha yes

Out of curiosity

Would replacing the hands during service look wrong if they were not of the same vintage as the dial? And I guess if they replaced the dial also with a Tiffany stamped dial it would be of current production if it would fit. So I guess it's better leave it...
