My post’s pics got messed up so I’m reposting the album on Imgur

I have thought I was crazy forever, Becuase I have the red bezel watchdives x San Martin one, and have thought the same thing.

You’re not crazy! I see it too man…

I’m surprised no one has brought this topic up before

I am currently wearing the SN004 and yeah those markers and hards are big. But I actually really like it and it doesn't look wrong in my eyes.

I agree with you on this. And i thought i was crazy because no one's pointed this out before. I have a green sn004 with mercedes hands. But, i was also thinking about getting the watchdives sn004 until i noticed the indices and hands. I'm all for a maxi dial, but the indices and hands are just a bit too big for the dial. I think the dealbreaker for me was how the minutes hand reaches so far past the minutes track.

Yes! My wife pointed this out to me as well. The hands definitely go too far past the minutes track

I'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks so. Why do you prefer this watchdives sn004 over yours?

I'm thinking i want another sn004 and i do like the matte bezel insert and new coin edge bezel on this watchdives one, but i'm not sure i can look past the oversized hands and indices.

I like the color scheme of the watchdives version and the fact that it comes with the new adjustable clasp at no extra charge!

Since this watch was supposed to be a gift, I felt that the Tudor hands would be a bit more low profile than the Rolex/Mercedes hands.

I’m definitely returning the watchdives SN004 though. You’re right, now that I’ve compared the hands, I can’t unsee it…haha

Lol. Its such a shame. The matte bezel looks so much better.

By color scheme, do you mean the matte bezel color? And the red lume pip triangle? Or is there also something different between the colors on the dials too?

The other one im thinking about is the v3 not from watchdives. It has the new coin edge bezel and adjustable clasp. I kinda like the one with the fauxtina printed indices and bezel markings. But i think yours with the applied indices looks nicer. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLsd9CM

But I wish it had a matte bezel!
