Day of week hands

I see there is only one movement for a day of week clock.

I was hoping to do a wall clock of sorts where I put up the days of weeks and essentially have no real dial (at least not attached to the movement).

The problem is the 3 suggested hands are shorter than I would like. Is it possible to buy other longer hands and use those? or are those 3 the only ones that can be used?

Due to the unique nature of the center hand shaft, you are only able to select from the listed hands as shown. This is an unfortunate draw-back of movements that feature a hand shaft that is not standardized. It may, however, be possible to fabricate your own hand out of a light-weight material. If you should choose to do so, you would want to test the hand to ensure that the movement kept proper time. More than likely, hand length should probably not exceed 7" (as longer hands typically require a more powerful, High Torque movement).
