The silver subdial hands are correct on the Serie Speciale

It seems to be an enduring myth that the Breitling Serie Speciale replica has incorrect silver colored hands on the subdial. The genuine did, in fact, come with both silver and black subdial hands. The replica hands are correct to the genuine. Below are links to two ebay auctions for genuine Serie Speciale's, one with black hands and one with silver.

In addition, Andreww has an original Breitling catalog that shows the Serie Speciale with silver hands. That is pretty clear confirmation!

Can anyone point out the original post where it says the hands are incorrect on the rep? Perhaps it could be changed to reflect this information. This would keep people from thinking that their watch is incorrect and let them choose what color subdial hands they prefer. Both are correct!

Thanks for reading, enjoy those Breitlings!

The black isn't particularly black, by the way. It's dull metal-looking to me.
