I need all 3 hands, the hour and minute hands on mine have seen better days i could get them silver plated again i guess but i dont know where I'd take them to get that done and the seconds hand is mostly broke off with some new parts she'd be gorgeous again i was thinking I'd like the seconds hand from the 47670 3272 its the same movement so it should be fine, i want the bandit look like this

So you'll probably have to get a 1.5mm Hour Hand and reamer it out to the required 1.75mm.

Then you'll need a 1.2mm Minute Hand which are standard.

As my response to your other post you'll need a 0.21mm Seconds Hand but may get way with a 0.20mm which are more readily available.

I'd ideally like some original ones if possible if i had the model numbers for them i could restore it to how it was i seen a site earlier selling lots of old timex parts I just need to know which ones

You'll be luck to find a part number for the hands.

Edit

As a side note the seconds hand on the photo you posted isn't original.

I found the model number for that hand and it appears to be exactly like that one in the picture this watch is the model that came out in 1973, the one from 1972 had the triangle shaped seconds hand from what i can tell but they apparently both have the same movement so i figure if i can find that triangular hand I'd rather have it but if not i guess im sticking with the one i found, I'm wondering if either of these will fit they look the same but i need confirmation Screenshot_20240813-150123_SamsungInternet.thumb.jpg.5bd44aa09c7131e9bd91c919d7078ea3.jpg

so you want to turn the 1973 version into the 1972 AKA The Bandit by just changing the seconds hand.   Not quite kosher since the dial code will not match.
