Ah, I see. I looked at Cincindela's pic (and one other) and the subdial hands looked black, but looking more closely, I take it they are actually a silver or chrome type finish? Which from certain angles look black.
Love to see one 'in the flesh' to dispel any misconceptions 馃グ
True. They are some sort of silver chrome. Does look black when under some shadows.

it's tough to photograph silver hands, as they tend to reflect whatever color is in the background.

I have to ask, why isn't this a standard Speedmaster model? It's the best looking Speedy I've ever seen and seems like it should be a no brainer for Omega.

The chances of picking up an original are about the same as winning a lottery, so it can happen, but generally to others. 馃檮 However, as long as it's not being passed off as an original 300 then who cares. If you like it, then buy it. Wear it. Enjoy it. I did and do.
