Indeed, the matching hands and markers are one of the hallmarks of the Carreras. and once you see how perfectly the hands and markers match, then seeing a mismatch (put together) can almost hurt your eyes. recently, we saw on eBay a first execution 2447S, with the second execution hands, and these hands looked downright silly, to my eye.
I will have an interesting Carrera to share soon; photos only, as I did not buy the watch . . . an interesting "customized" Carrera (2447) with BW style hands . . . we will leave it to readers to share their thoughts on this "mismatch" of hands and markers.

: Hi David - another lovely piece gracing your wrist. I really like
: the design of the hands and hour markers. The way they match and
: are and extension of each other.
: Shows some thought at the design stage and works for me.
