Hi Amer,

Before I researched my watch I also thought that either

- fluted pushers
- hands with red inserts
- red second chrono hand

and

- plain pushers
- steel hands
- white second chrono hand

are the only correct configurations. However, I found several pieces with steel hands and red chrono hand. Sure, the hand may have been exchanged during service (like the pushers), but these red hands were available in the factory from 1969 on at least.

One may easily exchange the hand, of course. I do not feel the need for my watch, because the color nicely matches the color of the GMT hand.

Cheers,

Mick
