Hands not original either? Bummer..

I like the appearance of the clock and don't mind that it ought to keep time, being a quartz.. But it's not really what was advertised.. :/

Perhaps I'll ask if the seller would agree to a partial refund.

This is a nice looking model, I have the same and love the very domed dial and glass. Yours is probably worth keeping and you may get lucky tracking down a Sectronic movement and maybe a pair of hands. Mine has the mk1 movement, which was a great movement, the mk2 was never as good, it had been cheapened.
