    All the hands except the subdial ones look replaced to me. Maybe the chronograph seconds is correct? If it is, it likely wouldn't be with this style watch.

    And beyond that - doesn't the constant seconds hand look to thin out as it extends? or is that a trick of the crystal?

    Now that you mention it the hands look new, thanks for pointing that out!

    I think the sweep hand is original, but it looks it was repainted red during service - i think that explains the unevenness of it. The owner needed a July 4th watch ::facepalm2:::D

    Thanks jordn, guess it would be unpatriotic of me to trade it from him !
