Up for a mod: Merc hands OR Snowflake?
Hello watch folks, I'm giving my seiko SNKP21J1 an upgrade with a sapphire crystal however I'm in two minds about the hands. I love the look of them both! What do you think guys? Merc hands or Tudor.

Merc!
Merc for sure.
Of the 2, Merc. The snow flake are my least desired.
Every Rolex and all the homages run Mercedes. I like the snowflakes for their quick visibility. You can also get Grand Seiko hands in gold or silver color.
Breguet. Think outside the box.
Neither. They have nothing to do on a Seiko.
Merc for sure.
Merc if I had to pick between the two. I personally would go for sword hands(maybe more appropriate with arabic numerals?) Or syringe 💉 hands
I’m a massive fan of dauphine hands, so my vote would be to leave the current ones alone!
The only real answer is merc
i Would look into something different that makes this watch even more unique

Exactly that. Upgrade the Dauphine hands if you must, but keep the general style.
Cathedral hands aren't an option, I guess. I think I'd always vote against snowflake hands.
Thanks for all your responses.❤️ To be honest I actually wanted Cathedral hands but it's Not in stock on dlw. So I guess I'll wait a bit more or go with the Merc Or even leave the duaphine hands on! Let's see.
Leave the dauphin hands on. They are perfect for the piece. 🍻

I was in two minds about it, finally went with the field watch look hands and the red tip second hand. I'm happy with the outcome 😊. Kinda looks like the Hamilton khaki that I always wanted.
