As far as i know, the milsub is the only Submariner to receive sword hands,
i think they look great and was just wondering why they weren't continued,
Thanks in advance.

Greater visibility under water. There is more lume on them than on the mercedes hands. The MOD still use sword hands on their dive watches. I suppose it was never "standard" Rolex and that's why they never used it elsewhere.
