Do these hands look ok?

Hi, help needed again please?
Do these hands look ‘right’ for a 2013 Planet Ocean ref 232.30.42.21.01.002 please?
Looking at photos of similar watches around the same year they all look to have a white outer and a greyish interior, whereas these seem grey outside and white interior.
Also the Omega name and logo in the photo are not white. Is this correct as the other photos I’ve seen show them in white not matt as in the photo.
Any comments would be really helpful.
Thanks
John

It looks fine to me. The hands and applied logo are all metal...

The photo you posted is a bit blurry. Here's an up close pick of my PO if it helps you. If you want more pics, let me know.

Thanks Speed2Sea. That’s my point the omega name and logo just below the 12 on yours are white whereas my photo shows them grey/black. Same with your hands they’re white on the outside perimeter while mine are grey? Do you reckon that’s ok?

Sorry, my OP is a 215.30.44.21.01.002. so maybe some of the OF experts can weigh-in and assist you.

What you are seeing as 'white' isn't... It is polished metal, so the 'outside' of the hands and omega word and logo are reflective. You can see on the 'A' in Omega on your picture it reflecting the hands.

Thanks ErichKeane, much appreciated. So are you saying that in my photo what I’m not seeing as white is some reflection picked up when the photo was tahen?

Yes, what you are seeing as 'why isnt this white?!' is because it is a reflection of something. Omega word, logo, second hand, and non-lume part of the hands (plus the non-lume parts of the hour markers) are all reflections you're seeing.

What @ErichKeane said. Here's an example on an Ed white (logo appears gray in one picture and white in the other)
