Nice cool blue hands  though I'd like the shade of blue to be a  little subdued

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'd wager that this is almost certainly lacquered blue, if not chemically dyed blue.
Most definitely not heat blued as heat blued colour is deep and lustrous.
Heat blued hands are time consuming and costly to undertake.

Personal taste and preferences evolve over years, hopefully not 1 full circle otherwise it means we haven't learnt a single thing.

Agreed.I have a UN which has heat treated blue hands and the sheen is different from a painted on job

Definitely not heated to blue. The price of the watch was less than RM500. We'll be lucky if they did not use BUNCHO poster colour.  :laugh:
