ive just noticed that the 2 hands are different styles. is this normal or has one been changed over the years as they both look the same aged colour.

Hi, looks like you are right. The minute hand misses the triangle shaped end and seems to be a bit too long as well. I have a watch from about the same period and both hands have the same triangle shaped end. Perhaps the minute hand was replaced when the watch was serviced, who can tell. At least the colour matches and the style is the same. Would not worry too much about it.

Looks that way. But hard to know for sure. I assume it could have been that way originally. Cool watch. When was it born?

Looks like they don't match but are of about the same age as far as the patina goes. Maybe snuck out of the factory that way or maybe replaced decades ago. I wouldn't worry about it.
