Re: Autavia 2446C GMT -- Polished Hands ? ? ?

Hello Jeff,

I am a bit confused.

Untill now I did not see any 2446c GMT yet with "brushed" hands!?? As far as I know they all have polished hands. The earlier ones were plain, without red stripe....the last ones have a red stripe. But they are all polished and not brushed/matte as far as I know? Am I missing something?

In the photos you included, they both have the polished hands with red stripe...but there seems to be a difference in the shape of the hands. The one above I think uses later style, and they look very similar to the Monaco style hands (except that Monaco hands are brushed rather then polished ofcourse), a bit more square. The watch in the second photo uses the "classic" shape of hands, similar to the earlier ones...tapered.

Best,
abel.
