Is this a real thing? Or a Sub Frankenwatch?
I am interested in the Sub. I admittedly don't know much. But I do look things up as best as I can. My research here has confused me more than helped me. Does this second hand go with this insert? Do either match the face of the watch? I love how this thing looks and I am interested in picking it up but I'm afraid it might be a dangerous purchase. |

Second hand looks aftermarket - too big of a ball at the end of the sweep methinks. Insert looks to be OK (for a later replacement) but can't tell for certain dues to blurry photo.

Gotta hate those Aftermarket hands. Been seeing those a lot lately.

I think the ball may have slipped to the end of the second hand due to overzealous turning of the crown while setting the time. May have to be reset by a qualified hand technician!
