Hi,

Just to introduce myself, I am the servicing manager at watchfinder. In repsonse to your question in regards to the hands on the Tag Heuer Carrera. Unfortunately all the hands supplied by Tag for the CV model are silver.

Groundhog, you'd probably have to look into a company that modifies watches ... I don't know of anyone to recommend though!

Diavel,i spoke to the service centre and they said the only hands available for my watch are silver and it is not Tags policy to create a watch that differs from the origional spec. thanks for your suggestion though,it was worth a try

Sorry, I just accidentally deleted my response. But here it is again.


You could try asking the Tag Heuer service center. Two years ago i had Tag Heuer change the colour of the totalizer and sub dials of my CV2010 to the red hands of the CV2014. This was done for no extra cost of the service. So you never know they might be able to help you with your min/hour hands, give the UK service department a call. Theres nothing to loose.
Bellow you will see the said CV2010 along with my CV2010-3


But it's this bit I have a problem with, "not Tags policy to create a watch that differs from the origional spec".
Clearly TheTag Heuer service center does not know there arse to there elbow, and clearly there is a HUGE contradiction .
If you were to ring the service centre on 01204861168 and give them the serial number of one of my watches (YF1398), they will tell you that they themselfs did the modification of swapping the colour of the hands on my CV2010 Carrera.
One hears about these things all the time, lie left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing.
I hope you can find a place to do it.

I will repost the picture again of my two CV2010 Tag Heuer Carreras for any one using the search function. One of which has modified coloured hands done by Tag Heuer them selfs. Even though they claim "it is not Tags policy to create a watch that differs from the origional spec".

As my watch is in for warranty work i don't think i will pursue it at the moment,perhaps when i give them some cash for a service in the future they might be more helpful,thanks anyway
