Concave hands on the 243

Another slow day at work, so today I found another thing to obsess about. Looking at my 243 those concave hands started driving me up the wall. Can't believe nobody complained about it before, at least I couldn't find it. Having owned a few 243 reps, H and N both V1 and V2 all of them had this problem more or less, checking others pics I found out this to be the norm. If you haven't noticed this till now and it's gonna start driving you insane I'm sorry.
On the Gen the hands are completely flat, on the reps the area around the tube is concave and sometimes even the sides. I was looking for a gen set of hands to no avail so far, found some aftermarkets like these http://www.ebay.com/itm/WATCH-HANDS...057?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item257624e7b9 but the hour hand is different and in my experience the lume on wholesaleoutlet hands sucks. Does anyone know a source for better of hands? Doesn't this problem bothers anyone else?

Perhaps a picture would better illustrate what you are talking about? I certainly never noticed such an issue on my 243 Noob.

Looks like I'm the only one bothered by this, I know I'm not the only one having this problem as I've seen it in a lot of pics.

LOL, what? The hands look good to me. I think we are all here because we obsess over the details of our watches, but I honestly don't see what you are talking about. Take that as a good thing because I'm as obsessive as they come!
