yes I feel the same. so I replace with the correct steel hands soon. Still I have not seen th Meister Siffert before and this makes it scarece. sure not the hands of the carrera: So if someone is interested in these hands mail me. I will sell them in due course.

: The Siffert that started this thread, and the Meister Siffert
: that you show, both seem to have had the hands replaced, with
: hands from a Carrera. The easiest clue: These hands are too
: short, and the minute hand does not reach the outer track. Look
: at the Index page of the automatic Autavias -- in every model
: and every version, the minute hand reaches the outer track (with
: the marks for minutes / seconds and 1/5 hash marks). But the
: replacement Carrera hands are too short and do not reach the
: hash marks for the minutes / seconds. So, in my opinion, these
: hands have been replaced and I doubt that this is a rare version
: . . . only a rare replacement.

: Still, a pretty watch, but I believe that it is a
: "customization".
