: Hi Phranz, I'll jump in here again if I may.
: You obviously have a keen eye! In answer to your question none of
: the hands on the 7220S on the OTD website appear to be original,
: which is why they don't match other examples you are seeing.
: Generally, the examples shown on OTD are to portray the models and
: variations or that particular type and to be used for reference;
: it is not there necessarily to show the best, untouched, 'NOS'
: examples. Inevitably such vintage watches may have had
: replacement parts over time, which can create confusion when
: comparing images.
: Your point on the hands is taken though and maybe a different
: example can be used that is more 'original'. I'll speak to Jeff
: and get his thoughts on it.
: Hope that answers your question though?
: Best,
: Steve
: :
Thank you Steve!
Yes, that answers my question very well!
best regards
Franz
