Here is the other side of the story though. First of all, as has already been hinted previously in this review, the Seiko hands are somewhat unbalanced. They are a smidgen short in relation to the dial. Also, I even think the hour hand could be a little fatter. Don't get me wrong; they are great hands. And, you get used to their 'stumpiness'. However, the Sinn hands are hugely successful in their execution. I'm pretty sure someone at Sinn got juiced up on acid or mushrooms one day and started mocking up drawings of hands using a ruler (but no artistic talent whatsoever). At the end of the day, what we're left with are what are surely the most readable hands I have ever owned. The contrast against the black dial cased under the excellent AR is amazing. And to boot (this the best part), these hands can be hacked and synchronized precisely by any breed of obsessive compulsive WIS. That's what the little tick at the ends of the hands are for. They line up with the minute markers to make aligning down to the nanometer easy on the U1.
Round goes to Sinn!
I don't think my vote is much of a secret.
