This is the exact reason I prefer the black face. I like the unpainted wg hands and markers better. To paint them is to rip them of their appeal (although i do understand the practical value). I really wish the 24hr hand was also raw.

I have the same opinion on the GMT2, the only ones I like are the yg models with unpainted 24hr hands.
