    Just wondering if anyone grabbed one of these? With the possible exception of the rather long hands I love it, mostly because it's a direct descendant of my grandfather's Sei Tacche. It's 43mm which has me a bit nervous with my skinny little 6.75's, but if anyone has one let me now how you like it :) Cheers

    I prefer the vintage. I have seen a few hands like that over the years. What's the theory behind it? Someone accidentally did it?

    What, the bent minute hand? Not sure how that happened, I wore the watch as a 12-14 year old in the early 70's. Hard to imagine how the bend would occur, I do remember the lume gradually falling out before the hand bent. Judging by the lume color in the hour hand it was redone while in my grandfather's possession. I have to assume as a dumbass kid I knocked the watch wround alot...
