I'm afraid you've lost me with the black hands and PVD bits. I think matte steel would look MUCH better. Black hands on a black or brown dial makes no sense to me.
The color is subjective, and it is very hard to please everyone, but black hands on black dials, or brown dials is nothing new, or strange. I just installed black hands on a black dial Sea Devil, and they look great. I also installed black hands on my BRG moray and it also looks great.
Here are some examples
brown dial and black hands:

and a black dial with black hands:

Thanks for those excellent examples of Black Hands Steve!! (and I have to admit the Black Hands look great on your BRG Moray too!!!
Seeing the Black hands side-by-side with the Matte Silver hands that you put up above also makes me like the Black Hands more for this piece...just seems like it is going to tie in well with the overall Bronze case that will gather that nice patina over time.
Those pics really helped!! Thanks!!
