I think you may need to adjust the color or contrast on your computer or phone. I'm seeing bright white hands in every photo of subject watch.

The centre's are blued. That means the hands are blued hands painted white, instead of silver hands painted white.
Here are the hands claimed to be used in the watch.

So why are they blued in the photographs above.

Those look blue or even black for the very same reason all these P/N WS-25 factory hands look blue or black, It's just the lighting and the way the light hit them.
Looking at all of these same P/N hands you would swear they were blue or black if you didn't know any better.
One other thing I noticed is although the hands are in fact silver or if you like "bare metal" on the bottom as can be seen here (with a very small amount of surface rust forming)
The top surface of that type of hands seems to be either "polished" and there for very reflective, Or it is "crome flashed" which would also make the top surface very reflective as can be seen here (with some contamination present)
The very reflective surface tends to seem to look like it is blue or black if the background of the person taking the picture is dark or shaded, Equally the very reflective surface tends to seem to look more like it is silver if the background of the person taking the picture is very bright or a very light color such as white or similar, It is also possible for the very reflective surface to seem to look like other colors like brown or red or more if the lighting and background of the photographer combine to allow it like in this picture where the centures of the hands seem to look a sort of brownish/red...
Many other colors are possible if the background and lighting conditions are just right...
I hope this will help anyone that might have read some nonsense somewhere about these P/N WS-25 hands or has any questions about this very rare handset that was used for just a very short time on the very first stainless steel Astronaut, The 1962 Accutron Astronaut!
