but can we be certain that these hands are not from the earlier Chrononmatic model, with the squared steel tips (rather than the painted, red triangular tips)? I wondered whether this might be some sort of transitional model between the "Chronomatic" Monaco and the standard-issue Monaco? though difficult to peg with certainty based on these photos, the paint also reminded me of the different shade of blue used on the earlier Chronomatic guys.

always trying to give folks the benefit of the doubt!!
