nice example...looks like the second hand is unusually short though? Typically see them go to the minute markers, right?

datejust24,
No, from what I can find this is a correct length and the hands line up with the smaller minute track closer to the center of the dial. Here is an example with a S/N within 200 of mine..

And another with the same dial
