I can reply to your question now it is most definately black strap and black face, i actually suspected the seller was colour blind (despite my original joke to that effect!), so seeked a second opinion from a friend who lives in the area of the seller. The hands are most definately red, which looks great. According to Mapin & Webb they have record of original watch being supplied with red hands as special order, but couldn't confirm if this was done by themselves or Tag Heuer. Has anyone heard of this before?

Anyway i'm extremely happy with it and in the end went with this over another white hand version and i'm not dissapointed to say the least!

Am happy to take some more detailed pic if anyone is interested in seeing them...
