Well some have different sub dial hand colours and some are matching. I wouldnt expect one to have faded too much if the other hasn't. Those hands really are tiny so I guess you would need a professional to remove it and do the painting. For a watch of that value I'm sure it's better off in it's original state?

: Thanks for the input guys...
: I know without a photo it's unhelpful....sums me up really...lol
: Looked at the 1979 catalogues and at a few other frenchie examples,
: especially Nic's (Heuerboy) nice crystal clear photo's.
: I have only one thing that I can see wrong with it...one of hands
: should be red and it is obviously faded, original shape etc....
: Any recommendations on how to re-paint the hand??
