Icon14 Thin hand subdial 6239 Daytona

Good afternoon fellas,

Is a thin hand on the seconds subdial of a 6239 correct? Picture below. Shouldn't they all be the same?

Thank you,

The thin seconds hand is normal on the 6239. I'm not sure about the hour hand though as many of them were fitted with a longer hand that almost touches the indices:

Thank you. But were they manufactured along with fat hands also? I ask because I've seen also 6239 with all subdial hands looking alike. The same.
