Oyster Perpetual 36mm - hands

[Mikey1986]

So, I am going to buy one of these. One thing though, I love the blue face (with the 3, 6 and 9 indicators) but on the rolex website, the hands look FAR thinner than the hands on the Red Grape/Silver 36mm models with the baton markers. Is this really the case?

Comparing the above images, I'm sure the hands are common.

No. If you think about it logically, why would they do such a thing?
Obvious answer is optical illusion or poor computer rendering.

Try the grape.
Looks amazing in person ( on a guy or girl )

Because it's Rolex, and it's entirely possible they would release a small batch thin-hand 'by mistake' watches for collectors to notice in a couple of years and become sought after, thereby promoting the whole line and reinforcing the Rolex as investment meme.

They are the 39mm dials, mate. The 36mm looks very different, see:

I have a red 39mm and love it
