I'm looking into this watch and contemplating buying one but I'm confused about one thing. Are the hour and minute hands luminous? I've seen some pic's of a couple of these watches and in some pic's the hands look all black and in others there appears to be a white strip in the middle of the black. Also, since the hour markers and Roman numerals are black I can only assume they are not luminous. Thanks for any help you can give me on this!

No Lume The romans are actually solid polished WG the hands also WG with a fine black strip down the middle , its just the lighting in some pics not sure if this helps

Wow, I didn't know the hands and markers were gold. They looked black in the pic's I saw but this will clear it up for me.

Thank you very much!
BTW, awesome pic of an even more awesome watch!

Not sure about metorite but the black dial 116509 version markers and dials are not. Only the hands
