Actually, I looked too quickly - the hour and minute hands don't seem to match either of the original sets for these models either. So possibly a faded dial and a replacement handset somewhere along the way.
: It's a 110.253 Carrera, which uses a case almost identical to the
: 1153 and 1553 Carreras. I have one, recently acquired - the dial
: on mine is a blue Cotes de Geneve dial. The blue dials can fade,
: first to purple, then to brown - I'm not sure if this is a faded
: blue dial or an original fume dial (there seems to be some
: debate about whether fume dials were ever used in this model).
: The chrono seconds hand is also different from my model - I know
: they cam with different handsets too (some with steel hands,
: some painted white). Someone with a deeper knowledge than me
: should be able to tell you whether it looks all original!
