Tudor 'Big Block' 94210 from 1979

Anyone ever seen matching black subchrono hands on black subdials on
Tudor 'Big Block' 94210 from 1979 NO Oysterdate 'subtitle'?
Are the subchrono hands correct or replacements?
I have seen matching subhands on later models (with Oysterdate subtitle), but not on earlier models 94210 around 1976-1979 (NO Oysterdate subtitle). Maybe because this model is more rare and not seen very often in matching hands, i was hoping anyone has seen this rare combi or have photos from a brochure/ cataloque to confirm this combi is original and not fake.
Thank you for your kind help.

The dial w/ angled hour markers and date window surround indicates an early version. And I seem to remember "Oyster"less dials on the first Big Blocks but unfortunately I cannot confirm. No idea about the sub hands.
Hope it's confirmed legit. That would be a great rare piece.
Good luck,
dP

are they definitely black, not blackened by time, or shot at a strange angle? Strange to put black on black?

I have never seen that combination before. I would guess that the hands were changed at one time and they should be silver and not black.

Doing a quick internet search failed to show any 94210 chronos with the black hands/black sub-dial combinations.

I too have never seen that combo. Most likely not original to the watch.
