For a little light hearted entertainment....

It's often the little subtleties that make a watch and the hands are a big part of that; a make or break!

So, let's see your favourite set(s) of hands, I'll deliberate for a moment and be right back.

After some deliberation, these of the watches I own (appreciated that the snowflakes are definitely marmite but they really do it for me!).

(Bad photo I know!)

I do Ile a flash of colour on a second hand too...

Slightly better photo of the Certina sword, the Tudor snowfalkes simply won't photograph off my phone!

+1 to @Nigelp for Grand Seiko, here is mine.

Yes, Dauphine hands are rather classically beautiful if well executed (which these most certainly are).

My personal preference is for heat "blued" or "mauved" hands, but of course they don't suit dark dials -- so, with those my favourite watchmaker also has a take on Dauphine . . .

people do tend to come around to my way of thinking in the end, we tend to sit down, talk about it and decide I was right.

i should have been a footy ref.

These take some beating

Omega PO
For a dive watch, I agree. I have the 8850 version of your watch with the same hands and I don't think photos do justice to how imposing and just right they are. They give out a feeling of real solidity. I think it's one of the reasons the PO remains such a popular watch..
