Here are mine! Blued power reserve. The watches in question.  A shot of the PAM449 with just one hand! And the blue steel almost disappearing. I think Panerai does great blue hands. All the best. ...

The theme is very cool....and the watches are brilliant and diverse too.

Not quite in the same league as some of yours...

But blued hands nearly always lift a watch to a higher class. Blued seconds hand is a NOS service replacement that I found on eBay, of all places. The original had been lost. B&M Capeland Worldtimer--a big watch with big, blued hands. 20th Anno. Saratoga-...  

I love blue hands!

Wow, looks like I'm not the only one

Such an incredible diversity of watches you've all posted, linked by the common theme of blued hands. (and all rather tempting too haha). Thanks for the kind words too about my montage, and keep the pictures coming!

Some more blue hands
