Ive been considering haveing my x-wind chrono modified for a while now, relume and having the edges of the hands painted black(lack of contrast with silver face) and the numbers either blackened or lumebed.  Then i came up with this, can a 24hr hand be added to the 7750, I know it would not run independant of the hour hand but you could have the chapter ring made into a 24hr scale. Since the chapter ring in its current function is useless.

You can have the hands re-lumed/painted. Be prepared for a long wait. 2-4 months on average. Consider just having new hands installed. SuperLume ones are available.

As for the 24hr. complication, I don't know. But, that kind of mod could wind up being pretty expensive if it is even possible.

Sounds about right for that work.
