Visually your coloured gold version is also very sexy! On the platinum, I would prefer blue hands all the way
Thank you dear yacomino.
Yes, on the one hand blued hour hands would add more contrast and colour, but on the other hand a monochromatic look is also quite something? 🤔
Agree for the look, however for me personally legibility is also critical so blue hands would be my preference!
Miki J bought the version our Count now owns . . .
. . . and replaced the hour and minute hands with NOS Omega blued sword hands. I'll try to find a photo.
Found a photo of Miki's 1894 . . .
. . . before he replaced the hands.
Will contact Miki presently - he might still have an image with all blued hands.
Finally found Miki's pics . . .
. . . of his modified 1894.
Of course, he kept the originals for the next owner.
🙂
Very interesting.
I like these blue replacement hands, but to me the luxury of this particular 1894 model is the lavish use of rose gold.
Miki swapped the hands for legibility. The original precious metal chronometers . . .

. . . usually had hour and minute hands that matched the case with blued subsidiary seconds hands.

Thanks to Dr No for alerting me to this thread!
My rose gold (non Japan) 1894 says hi. I do love it. Found it in HK at the street stall of a chap (who everyone in town knows), who specialises in vintage Rolex and dabbles a bit in vintage Omegas. One of those that’s just so right, I don’t know how I’d ever give it up.
But this platinum one…well!…I am such a sucker for white metal…phwooooar…bloody perfect…

Well, since we live in the times of goods particles many things are possible, but how likely is this!?
Two 1894 Japan Edition Omegas on one picture is quite a rare sight.
Congrats to yor friend!
I am searching for one myself and make up with this one in the meantime:
Not saying I will let it go, if the Japan is in the stable.😃

Thank you my dear friend.
It was luck, I must say.
Found it on the secondary market page of Rüchenbeck, a juweller.
For a good price, in pristine condition and complete papers and box.
One of my best purchases! 😃

I have only seen this piece on WPS.
And now 2 in same pix👏🏻.
Not sure if I will get to see one in the metal.
Yes, it's Larry's . . .
. . . and he originally posted it here many, many years ago.
