As a number of folks here have noted, there is a different amount—i.e., a different length—of black at the base of the minute, hour, and 24-hour hands on the black dial 216570. Some are bothered by this; some aren't.

I haven't decided whether I'm bothered.

What might help me is knowing WHY Rolex designed the hands the way they did. It seems like such an easily avoidable mistake that it must not have been a mistake at all; there must be some legitimate aesthetic explanation, right?

Any thoughts on this question?
