Curved Sub Hands...

[e30m3]

So, I'm aware of the current best "flat" hands. But as I've gone further and further down this 1680 rabbit hole, I've learned that, somewhere in the mid-'70's, Rolex started "curving" the hands - this supposedly in an effort to avoid washout (illegible) at any single angle. That is, there's always some light reflecting back off the hands, because they're curved. THEN, I learned that they're not curved at all - they're deliberately tapered, as in the attached pic. So the question is, does anyone replicate tapered hands, and are they any good? And should I (we, let's be serious here) even give a [censored]?

Wow, that's a really interesting observation. I had no idea they were actually tapered.

 

I know that the TC hands are very well known for replicating the gen look appropriately. I happen to be sitting on a few sets. I'll post some pictures in a day or two.

Well i guess you lern some new everyday. I was sure they were curved, lol!
