Which handset for Sumo?

[55grainvmax]

Which handset guys? My next Sumo mod will feature brown dial, minute-marked chapter ring, black & gold insert but which hands - gold snowflake or gold MM? Also I modded a pair of tweezers using the polymer tube from a cotton bud to soften the correct with parts: it works.

Both look really good. That’s a tough choice. If you want something safe, go MM. if you want something fun and a bit adventurous go snowflake.

... Snowflake

Snowflake. But I'd use a polished chapter ring. Minute indices on both always looks... untidy.

As much as I like those snowflake hands, I think they would work better with squared indices. That plus the fact that the minute hand of the snowflake set seems a tad anemic to me. Hence my choice would be the MM hands.

I think that after the recent post and discussion about hour and minute hand prominence on dive watches that the snowflake design is counter to what divers would want in a hard to read dark place.

Too bad a more prominent minute hand would probably ruin the snowflake look

Oh well, the Tudor and Rolex subs are primarily poser watches anyway

Gotta go with the Snowflakes with that dial.  It's "the look".

And Mr. Jones nailed it, chapter ring should be without minute hashes or it gets too busy.

This Mod (7S36) has a polished gold chapter ring and the dial minute hashes somewhat reflect onto it.
