    Not convinced that the hands are wrong:

    Everything else looks OK to me, but I've never seen one of these in person before.

    What are your concerns?

    I disagree. The OVD picture shows the minute hand extending a bit into the ridged part of the dial, just like the eBay watch. Could be that it was made both ways, or that the OVD picture is of a "restored" watch.

    That's been known to happen.

    I like that watch. At 39 mm in diameter, it's a very modern size especially when you consider the extra surface area of the case.
