I wasn't suggesting that this watch model with orange hands wasn't correct - I think you mis-understood me. I was only trying to help you out, as I thought your watchmaker had switched hands - it happens that I was incorrect, I apologise for trying to be helpful.
Now I understand that you had the central chrono hand repainted orange. Personally, I think this was a bad move.. as the original unpainted hand had lovely faded orange that matched the dial. Did you know that the original Heuer orange paint is florescent?.. I presume the repainted hand is now not. To me, it's a shame, it should have been left as it was.. and some of the originality and character has been lost. But, as always that is just my humble opinion. You enjoy your watch any way you seem fit.
