Re: Not to worry...
In Response To: Not to worry... ()

Thanks Derek,

Unfortunately I don't think I communicated my concern clearly. I've seen several of the black faced GMT models in stores in my area - up close and personal. While the hands are silver - they are coated in the center of the hand with luminous material - probably Super Luminova. None of these hands has looked "brilliant" white to me - they are a cream color with an almost greenish tint to them.

If the hands look the same on the white faced models - which I guess I expect they will - then I'd rather stick with the black faced model. I don't like the idea of a creamy colored hand over a brilliant white face. Does that make any sense?

: The hands on the Seamasters are only made in
: silver (most versions) or gold (gold cased
: models) color. So any 'tint' you see on the
: hands in photos are either reflections of
: objects off camera or distortion from the
: lighting used to take the photo.
