··Home For Wayward WatchesNew watch arrival during lunch today.
I suppose I was introduced to this model in a photo from a Forum post here a while back as I don't participate any any other watch forums. Date feature, and especially day feature notwithstanding, the styling of this Seiko appealed to me, especially with its Arabic numeral markers. So, set out to locate one. It's a Seiko SRP715. Apparently not produced for long and discontinued before I discovered it, it must not have been popular for it's a bit hard to find. I'd have been even more charmed if a simple "3" numeral marking had been substituted for the day/date feature.
Even without luminescent numeral markers it has more and better lume than any watch I've had.

·Good question. The subdial hands on the 14364-2 (bottom watch) are painted black - the watch came to me that way. I suspect that a prior owner had this modification done to increase readability. I do believe the hand shape is correct for this serial number range, however.
In my observations, it was during this period that Omega transitioned the subdial hands, across multiple references, to the straight, simple indexes.
Having said that, I’m always prepared to be corrected. The only way I learn.
Oh, and the main hands are not interchangeable between these watches. All the hands probably transitioned at the same time, with the dial change.
EDIT: Here’s that transition in Speedmasters:
