I'd suggest just the opposite; all Radiomirs (3646, the first 6152 and 6154, etc) had blue hands. It's the fact that they wanted to improve potential corrosion resistance and eventually replaced all blue (read: steel) hands with brass ones.

Honestly ... I like the vintage hands better ... They should used this shap for the 372 ... Pointier and the longer hour hand ...

And now i put on my 372 and go to bed

Although in the minority, I prefer the aesthetic of the 372's hands. I like that the hour hand never encroaches on the dial's markers.

I couldn't decide between the 390 and the 372. Eventually I will have both I'm sure.
