That hand is indeed incorrect ,
The AOPA logo seems ro be correct one for a 806 with v178 ?

Or am i missing so,ething ?

Thank you for your answers.
Maybe it is the picture which is not easy too see but I had the impression that the logo was a little bit "mashed" (I mean not very detailed and fine as we can see some), especially on the left corner but it is probably just an impression.

There is a variant of the wings with a thick left wing, see photo of Rene's transitional 806 (reposting without permission )

The ones I recall seeing are unsigned, but it really doesn't matter, when you get a better photo of the logo post it and the experts can chime in. Anyways you would not buy the piece you posted without seeing a better photo of the dial and logo, would you?

Ok I see.
Thank you for your answer.
Anyway it was more to have your advice on the logo, I am not going to buy the watch and for sure I would have asked for more detailed pictures. :)
