While you are having a poll how about a rotor-style bezel with a twisted coin edge similar to an H20 Orca? That would be over the top!

Yes!!! That would be very cool, Maria! And make that watch even more of its own thing and more different from the DSSD.

I voted Version 1 - to me I like those hands best with the hour markers and overall look on the dial. These hands do not appear "too thin" as a few of the other versions do. Thanks for letting us provide input Maria.

Totally with you on this one... Version 1 (and 6 but this one looks weirder) is the only one set that really has the correct size. The others are too thin, and sometimes even too short. Which is rather detrimental to lume perf.

People voting for the version 3 (scorpionfish) keep in mind that the Scorpionfish has not be acclaimed for its lume, and that the hours hand was noted for not being super bright... which is OK for me on the Scorpionfish which is vintage-y but would not be great on the Seafarer II.

the minute hand on 1 with 3s hour hand would be a good compromise and look good while not looking like a cond----seiko---- dom .

The only one that works for me from the choices available is #3. I like that there is a contrast in hands color.

As I mentioned earlier, 1 I believe is the most suitable, while 3 is OK, I guess. The problem with 3, is it appears too thin and not aggressive enough for a serious deep dive watch.
Although we are discussing hands here, I must say that suggestion regarding the twisted bezel, ala Japy, Orca, whatever, is really something !
I think that a deep diver like this needs aggressive looking hands, and THAT bezel ! It would really set the Seafarer II apart !
Cost wise, it might be an issue, but I feel this could really be an outstanding watch on its own right, and kill any similarity to a DSSD outright.
All those who feel its just another Sub-on -steroids DSSD homage, might really take another look at this....

I voted for version #3 because of the orange minute-hand which could be readily identified during a dive.

Any consideration of the Plongeur hands with an orange minute-hand similar to that for the SF? Just thinking out loud!.....

Maria, any chance of combining different handsets?
Following up on Chant's post, is it possible to offer a handset of for instance the Version 1 or 6 hour hand, and the Plongeur minute hand as used in the Scorpionfish?
This combination would offer excellent, aggressive size hands and Lume area, and also provide an easy to see orange contrasting color minute hand, seems to fit the theme of this deep diver much better.

Yeah, thanks for all the work, Maria.
We certainly are not the easiest customers to accommodate and you still do admirably with the bunch of us throwing demands of this and that!
