I think I will change out the hands to what the original "Minute Man" should be. Will post updated images

I found a pair od hands for my Bulova 10BC and looks as if they are exactly the same as what is on the watch. I guess The Minute man watch also was available with these hands.

Hi Deacon. The 10BC movement was used in various models of Bulova watches and different models used different hands. If you want original hands for the Minute Man you need to look for some labeled GM (gold modern) style. You need to make sure you get the right length hands also by measuring across the dial from the outside of the minutes track on one side to the outside on the other side at the narrowest part of the dial. This will be the length of the hands you need. Measured in milimeters.
