Gentlemen. I have been debating whether or not to repaint the second hand of my Heuer Regatta. It originally was orange ,but over time has faded. The first pic is it as it is now. The second is a photoshop rendition of what it will look like if I repaint. What say ye?

I'm on the fence, but I think it looks great repainted! If it can be done properly, and the color is perfect, paint it.

One cautionary note, make sure you use Heuer approved enamel!

My hesitation is only in the fact that the watch can only be original once. Then there is the issue of the color not matching up exactly. If I do it though there will be much practice before the final leap.

Put a new second hand on, keep it original... do not paint it.
