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

the shape is correct, but middle segment painted dark red, not black as it should be.

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!

Both still went for circa £4000!

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?
