Actually, all 3 sub dial hands are lumed but the Chrono hand is hiding the ones at 12 and 6...

Thanks for the great comments guys.... Very pleased!

It's a beauty! Is that the standard brown leather strap or did you change it? The IWC press photos show a smooth leather strap with white stitching...

I got it with an "upgraded" Santoni strap that normally goes with the Spitfire as well as a deployment clasp instead of a Tang buckle.
