Do the hands look original on it? They seem a bit generic

The large seconds hand looks like it is missing the bottom part of it - is that true? Or is that original as well?

Hey just wanted to bump this - again in terms of the seconds hand - I havent seen another with that type of cut off with no tail on the large seconds hand - would that have been original?

Hmm ok - I assume that would be tough to repair/replace then and would just have to live with it.
