It's a beautiful piece ...
But I believe that the chronograph hand is more recent.
Here is an example (look to the base of the hand):
One rule that I follow, that may be wrong, is that every Speedmaster with the 321 movement should have the chronograph hand like the one on this picture.

Not easy to find one but not impossible.
Cheers,
Nilo

I'm anxiously awaiting a 105.012-66 w/CB case to show up at my door step. Unfortunately it has the more modern chrono sweep as shown on the "Ed White". As I'm sure you're aware that a modern, but more correct long-tail chrono sweep is available from a reg...
Is not crazy, in fact ...
There are several ways to put a faux patina on any hand. Some, are so efficient that removes the unwanted Luminova lume and produces a faux time aging. Cheers, Nilo
Not crazy at all
Totally agree with your plan provided parts and funds are available. How do your add colour to the lume? don't mind me asking?
