IMO, beginning collectors are likely more willing to start the collection with a watch with "color matched" hands, as they are still learning the hobby. More experienced collectors have progressed from that point and are looking for all original - unless they are willing to hunt for a matching period correct hand set.

Does it easy to categorize "color matched" hands from naked eye?
