I have also wondered the same thing in the past. I think it is just a styling decision they made. Thats all I can come up with maybe someone else will have a better idea. I love the way she luminates though. Way brighter than my super avenger. Just awsome

Thanks! I was thinking that perhaps some diving nut would come up with a technical reason as to why the minute hand didn't need to be lumed.

I've just noticed as well from the BS gallery that the 6.75 speed has the arrow pointer on the seconds dial, and the lumed hands are on the minute and hour chronograph dials. So maybe it is just an aesthetic reason.
