    Could the dial and hands combination on this Evil Nina with case reference 885103/01 and serial number 241xxxx be original and correct?

    i.e. applied logo dial with dauphine hands, needle subdial hands and central seconds hand without lume.

    Apologies for the poor quality photo, it is the best that I have.

    I start saying that I am NO expert on these 60s UG chronos but as far as I know and I have seen this is a MKI Evil Nina, hence the applied logo and needle subdial hands are indeed correct, as possibly is the red central chrono hand without lume. But I doubt the dauphine hour and minute hands are correct, they probably belogn to some other UG chrono reference, I would thing that even on the first Ninas and Evil Ninas the main hour and minutes hands are the "standard" steel, lumed "kind of trapezoidal-shaped" hands

    I swear I've seen this before. +1 on the H/m hands. They don't belong there.

    Thanks. That was my first thought too but I discovered from this forum that the very first Evil Ninas (reference 22706-1) had dauphine hands just like this. I wondered whether it was possible for this 885103/01 to have the same hands?

    Agreed with the above - it's my firm belief that the H/M hands are not original to it.
