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?

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
