To me shape of the hands although matter but not as much as matching the overall coloring. I wasn't even aware of it but few months ago I installed the rose gold hands on one of my built watches and I really got into the point that I had to change them. Here on first picture is how it looked and then what I changed the hands.
What I realized was that I don't like the skeleton hands on this dial as well because its kind of hard to read the time at a quick glance. Very first hands I had on this watch was the following
But I installed them on an other watch so I've been looking on aliexpress to get some new but I can't really decide between so many options, reply to this comment please if you have an idea what would suit well on this dial and would look somehow outstanding and extremely good at the same time
Before I would do additional steps such as returns or taking it to a jeweler I would try to change the bracelet pins, sometimes they could be thinner and you may need thicker one, but I completely agree with you that it is unacceptable, doesn't really matter what's the price for the watch is, it should be properly assembled
