The one thing that’s a little odd is that yours is a black 94010 MN. Personally I have only seen blue 94010 MN’s. There are black 7016 MN’s and many black civilian 94010’s. This doesn’t mean black 94010 MN’s don’t exist, but it could be worth double checking anyhow. |
Yes, it is unusual, but not because it's black, it's the hands. According to Ross Povey, the black-dial MN82 ref 94010 should have regular Mercedes hands, which is indeed the case for mine. Hands are easily replaced. Does the OP's watch have a five-digit serial?
