Beautiful example although I've never seen this model with red sweep + sub dial hands. Usually they are orange or yellow or an orange sweep with yellow sub dial hand. Did you ever see one with a two piece? Answered my own question. Rainier's example has a two piece Rob On pristine examples of early 6030's I've seen, the S and M chrono hands were orange (they fade to yellow like mine over time) and the S hand is a two-piece. My unexpert opinion is that Fergus' watch had the S and M chrono hands replaced with a 600X red handset. Not to completely hijack this thread Fergus - apologies, but this might help with insight: I had a similar scenario on a 7010 I bought that had 600X S and M chrono hands - they should be orange and were clearly swapped out at some point in its life. I had swapped them out for the correct orange S and M hands during service. You can see the difference in this photo between the S hand shape with the red vs. orange, the red 600X S hand is much thinner throughout.  |

Here's mine in direct sun - definitely orange with the orange second part of the seconds hand... But the bracelet is US... not original.  |

Thanks all, still much to learn but more importantly, at 70, REMEMBER  ref the 12 - 45 markers, 50 & 55 dots, appear red to my eyes yet when Googling most if not all are orange. The s & m hands are a very close match and suit the markers. They also appear, or at least look, genuine Seiko 6139. |
