From what I can see, those are the fatter spiky flat hands from the C9 40mm.

The Slimline hands are 2-planed dauphine hands.

I have to agree with Ferg it is much nicer than the mock up.
It just takes an email to Wera to reserve, one you know! :thumbup:

There are just four available;- http://www.christopherwardforum.com/vie ... 70&t=30326

Go'on, you know you want to. :wink:

This is great to see, thanks Kip for sharing and Chris for filming.

Seeing the prototype on the video shows the hands issue isn't actually an issue, it looks great with those 5DA hands. My reservation for #39 is staying firmly put!

Well I raised concerns about hands on main forum ! Have to say the hands do look good possibly better than the 'needle' hands. I'm still in when can we expect delivery ?! When will CW want the money.......

Thanks Kip, Concerns over the hands have gone from my mind, I also think these may look better than the needle style hands originally used in the drawings.

I'm very happy for this to be my first FLE purchase in the collection :thumbup: :thumbup:

I am very happy with the hands, especially being the proper length, and completely flat. The minute markers are very nice. Excellent video to show the details. :thumbup:
