Found a nice 666 Sea Dweller.....

All original....

The only real issue is that the second hand has a crack right through the tritium.........

I'm not sure how much it will bother me???

Not sure how tricky it's going to be to find a color matching replacement....

Thoughts???

Keep looking IMHO. The "Right" one will come along.

I don't have any actual experience in this area, however my gut tells me it would be easier to find a watch with everything correct than to find a second hand that macthes the other hands and the dial.

Yes I agree, it is better to find the perfect one that you will like in any regard (and such a 666 can be found) rather than being bugged by something you know you don't like. A correct replacement can be found for sure with time, but still I would not bother.

best of luck for finding the right one.
