wondering if davidsen could provide wider gold hands for vinny projects.
the vintage project i posted in a recent thread had some amazing hands (imo), and the big part of the appeal for me is how wide or "fat" the hands are.
also notice the fat small hour hand on my favorite postV pam - the beautiful brown dialed 232 that is just now being released to ADs:

i think the fat hand, with relatively smaller, thinner hours and markers is such a great combination! make the hands and font fat, make the hour markers and numbers thin - to me, a great combination, especially for the 47mm hommages (even if not accurate for certain periods, like preV 44mm luminors like the 5218/201A that had "fat" numbers).
ASIDE: the 232 radiomir is NOT black dialed and there was NEVER a black-dialed version...notwithstanding typos in sotheby's auction listings or bad-lighted photography. trust me, i've tried on this watch and it's a tobacco dial just like the 203, and since the first time it was unveiled as prototype, it had a brown dial.
