Am I right in thinking it's the hour and minute hands that are incorrect only?

Ok great thanks, I realise now it was the other 810 at WoK. This made my realise I need to up my game when buying something. Very helpful to get an understanding of the nuance I need to pay attention to. A bit nervous about what I have as most pieces were bought with my heart. First stop, getting a proper loupe, thanks again!

And that's not including the 24% buyers commission,
Interestingly the dark red hand insert colour is far from unique to this example, my own is identical and a number of others I have seen.
Not wishing to ignite the Swiss / Geneve dial marking discussion again but it is interesting that black seems the norm with Geneve and dark red with Swiss, unlikely I would have to agree, but a bit of research seems to show that pattern.

Is there any chance that these hands have gone tropical?
