What to do, what to do...

I got these hands before I even ever got my 210. I thought I was going to use them right away.



I thought the 210 needed them and I think they would look good, but it looks pretty damn good already....



hmmmmmm

When I saw Rob M's for sale on P.com I thought of you bro. I'm all for modding. The gold hands look amazing and if you don't like it, change it back.

Honestly, it looks great without the gold hands. If you're happy with it, leave well enough alone I say. Otherwise, go forth and spend more money having them changed out!

Hmmm...

Not a move I'd personally make. I'm not one to ever toy with what a watch was originally built for. I'd just assume buy a reference that boasted the features I wanted.

Let me think.....190

Mixed opinions on this one, but I have never >>>>>

....subscribed to "modding' a watch aftermarket.

I say keep the original hands, and the Gold ones may come in handy for a few extra $$$ if/when you ever decide to sell the watch.

Good luck with your decision, but either way you're a winner!!!!!

I love the look of gold hands, but in the case of the 210 - I think its perfect as is. Gotta love the base models~!

I keep the customization to the straps on the 210! Like the hands but personally wouldn't do it.
