Why did the milsub have sword hands?
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.
