    Blue Seconds

    Red second hands are nice for a splash of colour in a watch but they're fairly common. Blue seconds on the other hand........



    Any others?

    They are quite large but found mine to be comfortable. Very reliable too, incorporates the El Primero auto...

    I was considering the PVD cased version of this, until I found out they'd changed to a red seconds hand :evil: Against bright white markings, the blue works far better than red IMO.

    Sorry Picture is to large to upload on this page.
    Why is there a 800*800 pixels limit ? in these ADSL - XDSL days large pictures is no problem, It has been a while since i have seen a dial up modem.

    The problem isn't with the download speed of these large pictures.

    But if you were able to post your picture, this thread would get very wide with your picture beeing 3872x2592 in size, this would make it difficult to read as you would have to scroll back and forth to read the text.

    If you are on a pc you can quickly resize with irfanview.

    Re: Blue Seconds

    Coloured second hand just add a little in most cases - are there any pictures of those that really detract?
    It's just a matter of time...
