Question about the Leman Chrono Bigdate

Greetings,
       I have a GO chronograph and I'm thinking of switching to the BP Big Date chronograph ( Baton markers style) because GO does not offer that double complication.  I was wondering 2 things:  If you notice the BP Leman BD (big date) has solid hands that occlude the minor dials and would become more challenging to read the stop watch time.  I noticed that there exists skeleton hands for the higher complications for the BP line. So, why have they not put those types of hands on the chrono.? I have seen the Aqua Lung and do agree the solid hands serve that face well since there are no sub dials.  If I did buy the chrono, could I send back the watch to BP and have then put on those clear skeletonized hands w/ the arrowhead luminescent tips?  I also would appreciate if any of the people here who have a closer connection to the BP group across the pond could pass along my suggestion about putting the skeletonized hands on the Big Date Chrono so as to view the sub-dials more easily. ( One would not have to look so hard and guess what was under the occluded hands) Maybe they will eventually decide to produce the watch in this manner.

Regards,
Jeffm
