Ah ok thanks. Would RSC do that? Mix and match chromalight hands with a (super)luminova dial?

As said by others, blue hands (both) and green indices.

Did you service the watch or bought it like that?

Very curious to know what/how it happened...

I bought it like that off eBay. Watch seems pretty good in every other way. Would be nice to know if RSC do use chromalight as service hands for old subs or not.

I suspect they don’t and this came without box or papers so it’s likely it hasn’t had a service in its recent past.

My guess it was serviced by a watchmaker who needed to replace the hands and only had the chromalight hands to hand.
