I agree it looks good Jeff, but I think I prefer the steel hands with inlay. The different handsets give totally different looks, the painted hands more sporty - the difference between the two 'looks' is quite striking really.
Hard to choose, but I still think the steel hands just pip it for me. Could you imagine a Siffert with fully painted white and blue hands?!! ;0)

: With all due respect to the earlier "Orange Boys",
: with the brushed "Viceroy" style hands, this one is
: the "killer" to my eye. The orange-edged hands look so
: much stronger than the brushed ones, and to me they "set
: off" the whole watch. Bang!! Beautiful!!
: In many instances, I believe that Heuer "got it right the
: second time", and this is one of these situations (IMHO).
: I am wearing my "Gilles" Autavia today (201040), and
: admiring the family resemblance!!
