Tudor Sub 79090 with lollipop hands?

Hi, I'm a newbi on this forum so I hope I get this right. I'm in the market for a nice vintage Tudor submariner, preferably with lollipop hands. I've seen this one on offer by a French dealer

It looks nice but is described as a 79090. According to my information, only the Submariner 76100 comes with lollipop hands. What do you think, does this one look right?

Thanks!

First of all: these are no lollipop hands. A common misunderstanding; lollipop hands are when the seconds hand has a bigger bubble than regular, not the hours hand missing the mercedes star.

secondly: This model never came with lollipop hands

I thought a lollipop hand was the seconds hand like on for instance the early 6204 submariner? The lume bubble should sit right at the end of the hand, not in the middle, just like on a lollipop.

Thanks both. I'm now a bit confused as to what lollipop hands are. I know they come on a 76100 and not on a 79090 (I actually thought the 79090 always comes with Mercedes hands, that's why I'm having doubts about the authenticity of this watch). But indeed, I thought it was just a bubble without mercedes hands. What about this one? That one looks right, doesn't it?
Thanks again
