Gentlemen
Note that the two "faded" examples were shot under incandescent light, while the "unfaded" example was shot in daylight.
The best reference, of course, is the color of the stainless bracelet, which shouldn't be discolored. The bottom one looks almost gold, the middle almost rose gold, and the top one a normal bluish silver.
FWIW, I was shocked at the outdoor, no flash, open-shade macro shots I took of my Siffert.
Looking at the baby blue second hand in the photos, I would have been convinced it had been repainted. It's four shades darker in real life.
And that's not even accounting for the color shift on our monitors...
