    The second-to-last ones, IMO. I agree with earlier sentiments, make the hands (as well as the case) blend into the background so the dial can be the undisputed star of the show.

    Finally, that looks like lume. The previous straight sticks you showed looked hollow. These would be good I think, or the straight ones if lumed. Basically, simple stick hands without any thick "diver" like pretensions or other odd shapes. Let the dial show, and the hands be small but clear enough to see and tell time (that's why I like some lume to help with contrast.) This watch would be all about the dial.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    Well if these hands then would have to be the 8215 movement and the 28mm dial ?

    The only down side so far the cases all seem to fit a 29mm not a 28.1 so would it be to loose in the case better to be a bit small then to big i suppose thing is got two spare auto movement but ant got a clue what clone they are suppose to be, one came when i ripped apart a fake rolo i received in a job lot .i all ways destroy the dial and case if branded but seems waste to bin a working movement i do this as object to passing on fakes

    The others in that sub that no one wants to buy been on and off the bay last month or so
