I assume you’re referring to color-matching hands, which is such a turn-off for a lot of collectors. And all this mixing and matching of dials/hands is also very unappealing and, more importantly for some, unoriginal.

If a buyer already has a budget in the $10K range to buy a vintage/classic Sub, much smarter to go a couple of grand more and buy a correct and more appealing example and not settle for a mismatched, questionable watch, IMHO.
