Hi Darwin,

: I don't think I could tell you any more than you know. There may
: have been a period when they used both types of hands.
: I like the way the thick hands look, especially the ones with a
: pointy tip, but the thin ones are definitely more functional.
: The ones on the top Compax in the picture look like Daytona hands,
: don't they?

Maybe, the photo is not clear enough.

I want to continue this discussion in the UG Watch Forum, where I started a thread (http://omegaforums.net/threads/thin-vs-thick-needles-of-the-later-compax.10805/).

: Is there any chance you could post a picture of your AeroCompax
: 24h?
: I'm curious, I've never had one of those.

Here is an image for you, more in the other forum.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Mick
