two words - "Derek Bell"

I suggest the Derek Bell model with the earlier hour markers on the dial , paired up with a set of polished stainless steel hands with the painted black stripe running down the center, red chrono seconds hands and finished with a nice MH bezel - this would be my choice.
Hope you choose this combo - Darren

-: OK, team => => => So what are the suggestions for this
: 28,800 VPH "Special"?

: Should I: try to match Sandra's, which seems to be the real thing?
: Love the look of this one, with the orange details, white chrono
: second hand and the black date disc! go with a standard looking
: Autavia 1163MH, appropriate for the period in which these
: prototypes were probably made? mix and match some favorite
: elements to create a true "special", perhaps
: emphasizing "legibility" of the time-of-day and chrono
: second hands . . . perhaps the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) got
: it right, with the black dials and the bright white hands . . .
: is this a good look for this "Special" or leave it
: pretty much as it is, or try to make it into an earlier
: "Siffert", that would be period-appropriate for the
: 28,800 project? So who wants to donate some components for this
: "special" . . . case, dial, hands, etc . . . maybe
: this becomes a community project!! But first we must decide what
: to do with it!!
