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

Are these considered polished?


: 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.
