Kind of scrimped on the pictures don't you think?

 

The one in AJTT also had that Constellation crown on it didn't it?

 

I'll take a guess. A no date Grand Luxe?

Hey, at least it has the right hands.

 

Well I may be Australian but I CAN read

 

Yes some of the manual winds I believe came with longer than expected hands including some manual wind seamasters but in those instances, aesthetically, the hands look nice probably because they were usually pretty thin. In this instance though the hands being too long and thick at least to my eyes look out of place and I think the watch would look even more stunning with shorter dauphine hands.

 

You may be right, are the shorter hands easily sourced? They're all 18K gold right

 

Looks like a US Market Norman Morris creation.

 

Ahk that actually makes sense

 

Yes it does

 

Oh really, you reckon it was actually born that way and not done by nefarious types?

 

On first blush looks original but hurts my eyes to look at it much longer than that!

 

Enter Bruce Springsteen.

 

Look at this Norman Morris De Luxe:

Fairly easily sourced but not in 18k gold. You have to get the right length though.

 

Well the watch looks really good on that band, of course it would look better on my wrist.

 

Ah I see, yea definitely born from the same mould

 

Hmm ok, so the constellation 18k hands aren't available as replacement parts easily?

 

not in 18k gold.

 

Ah ok, are they plated steel or something
