Re: thanks David, based on the '78 catalog...

You're not the first one to think that...

I'll bet there are more Monzas out there with swapped sub-register hands than not.

It's always seemed logical to me to have the red hand on the white register and the white hand on the red register, for the sake of contrast and ease of reading.

Most watch servicers seem to think otherwise, and put the hands back on reversed.

I really like my Monza, and have a hard time not wearing it too often. I have to lock it away to make it harder to get at.
