Columbus Gold Hands--Original?
This 21J Columbus King has gold-colored fleur de lis hands. I have never seen a Columbus with these before. Do you think they could be original?

I have two or three other Columbus 21J Columbus Kings. They have blued hands. I must say, the gold hands look quite elegant on this super-clean example, which looks like it just came from the factory.

They do look stunning on a Hunter model , they are hard to find compared to the blued ones. I would say yes to original, as the movement was probably cased by the selling jeweller and he installed the hands

Very nice whether original or not.

Totally agree and nothing but 'academic'. Those are gorgeous on that watch.

That is sweet Dennis
Would like to imagine the gold hands were an option. Very attractive in some applications.
The treatment of the gears is exceptional.
Thanks for sharing
Mike
