Had Duarte from NEWW install some new hands on this one. It had some very thin ones before and made it tough to read the time easily..........

What do you think???...................

Thanks Tom...actually reread Duarte's message and the hour hands will be 2mm longer than showncool10.gifI think that will look a little more balanced.

A little hard to tell the sizing from this angle, but I suppose the hour hand could be just a bit longer.  The dauphine-style hands suit the design of the watch really well - - very well complemented.

I think the new hands are a big improvement but being a bit of a lume freak... I do realize that isn'treally the nature of this watch. I think you've made a sharp watch even better!!

Great look T! Those hands definitely compliment the look, and are certainly easier to see!

Good idea Buddy, and an even better price.
