The saying that "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" - contains a truth I hold dear.
I never liked the gladius hands on the Mark Ia at all until I saw the skeletal variety.
The brown patina matching the brown dial on the Ia sold by Bulang looked OK, but . . .
The more typically seen lumed hands are often found to have aged to an ugly aqua color that I find distracting to my eye and appears to me to be a bit large and out of proportion to the rest of the watch. I almost want to look away.
First thing I'd do if I found such a one is to knock out all the ugly lume while no one was looking!
. . . especially now that Nico has provided the cover to get away with such a thing.
A little heresy now and then is a good thing - to keep the religious in line!
