I'm a sucker for blued hands. Blued hands are my kryptonite.
Here's a few of my blued hands that I own or used to own.
My all-time favorites of the watches I've owned. The Robert Lighton Empire. Big, fat and oh so blue. This one deserves a few photos.
Robert Lighton San Remo. Interesting and blue.
Stowa Antea KS 41.
It's cousin the Nomos Tangente.
A few Breguet hands. First on a Benzinger (crappy phone pic snapped minutes ago) and then on a Robert Lighton Hudson.
And a few blued hands with lume. First a Stowa Flieger and then the Robert Lighton Growler.

I was gonna play, but then saw Brian's post....... .....
Fuggedaboudid... (as he slowly puts away his miserable Parnis.)
I have this one on today.

The title of this thread threw me of at first - are you asking for pics of my hands after I rode my motorbike for 260 km in -6C weather?Talk about blue hands. (Un?)fortunately, there was no camera around when I got of the bike
Okay, more to the point of this thread - I'm with Brian, also a sucker for blued hands, so no surprise that I have quite a few in my collection, from relatively cheap to not so, from old to new.
My most affordable blue hands* are found on my 2011 WUS CMW Moonphase SE
and the oldest ones on my Minerva VD712 Decimal Chronograph
Blue hands come from all over the world; the examples above are from China and Switzerland, but how about blue hands from Joure in Fryslân, The Netherlands
Christiaan van der Klaauw Ariadne
or from Germany:
Stowa FOLE
and from Switzerland (of course):
IWC Portuguese Automatic
Great thread, gorgeous pictures
* used to be on my Parnis Power Reserve, but that watch now lives on the wrist of my brother-in-law; there is more to that story
