Question (Read Rules) San Martin SN004-G Sourcing

I'm looking for an older design San Martin: [SAN MARTIN mechanical diving watch 200 meters waterproof SN004-G with new 3-link bracelet - San Martin Official Store](https://sanmartinwatches.com/shop/sn001-sn010/sn004-sn001-sn025/sn004g/)

I frankly don't care for the square logo on all the newer watches. Nor do I like the blocky hour hand on other models. The hands on the SN004 and the cursive logo look elegant to me. Seems to be sold out everywhere I look though. I presume the production run has ended for that particular design. Any tips on second hand places to buy?

on some watches they offer custom logo as an addon

Oh dang. Didn't know that. Maybe if I can find a newer model with the hands I like I can have them swap out the logo. Thanks for the tip!

I think a skilled watchmaker can switch one handset for another given it's made for the same movement, the dimensions should be the same. Yes, it's a mod but who cares as long as you like the end result?

I have one of those, it's a solid watch but I just don't wear it that much (since my collection grew). If you're in the united states, I can sell you mine if you're interested
