I checked the hands.
I see what you mean. Both the hour and minute hand have a glossy finish with lighter edges around the perimeter mainly due to lighting. If you look at the tip of the hands especially the seconds hand it doesn't look like plastic. There isn't one area even under strong light where you can actually see right through the hands.
GP has many models using the same type of hands and I would be surprised if they specially made plastic ones for this model, unless they are all made of plastic, which I doubt.

A quick impression.
There are two types of watches in my possession : ones that I have planned, saved and lusted for and those that I was attracted to at first sight and became a spontaneous acquisition. This one belongs to the latter category and I know quite well the dange...
Fernando, very well played. Yes, sometimes, we get watches without checking all the other
Parts, just because they are cool. And this one in undisputably cool! Gorgeous dial and very nice case. And yes, it doesn't house the in house modular chrono movement. Best, Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas!
You're a genius! I should have checked with you first regarding the movement instead of blindly searching over the internet. Best fernando
Very nice...
excellent buy, I also love the dial design, never mind that Ref 4948 is a FIAT edition and does not have the inhouse movement. Neither is visible when it is on the wrist. Nice combo with the brown strap. These are really good value for money and I totally...
Thank you CC!
Yes, there's really no good reason to look at the back. :) Looking forward to seeing the new one(s). Best fernando
A classic chronograph...
from an important house in horology. What's not to like? Excellent score, Fernando!
I love "haute horology" but ...
Without being a fundamentalist. I'm hooked on chronographs and, of course, chronograph movements. I had a time where everything must be "in house" until I learned that even the "in house" manufacturers sources parts (balance, springs etc.) from others. En...
There's the fine stuff...
and these ones with the reliable workhorse movements requiring little or low maintenance. :) Thanks Nilo. Best fernando
Yes that's the handsome one
Very understated manufacture and one of my favorites Your choice dear pa is excellent :) Adopt Damjan
Superb catch Fernando, congratulations......
these GP case a absolutely beautiful and so comfortable, this dial and the blued feuilles hands makes it irresistible. Oh and I very much agree your introduction:) Cheers Francois from Down Under
Very Nice!
I also own this watch, the finishing to the case and numbers/indices on the watch is top notch. One thing that I was disappointed by were the blue hands. From what I can tell they are not blued steel, they look plastic to me.
Thanks for posting.
Enjoy it anyway. :) Look forward to reading more from you! cheers fernando

Just a perfect finishing
I have checked this watch with my watchmaker, the movement & the dial, everything is perfect. Hard to believe for this price indeed! The hands are in steel. I have seen them on an other very precious GP... So don't worry! enjoy it, Regards, TGV
Absolutely beautiful classic GP chronograph.
Love the color combination of the blue hands, dial, and polished case and chrono pushers. Simply elegant! Is this specific model a current production piece? I don't see it on GP's website. Cheers, Anthony
Not regular production Antony.
Made for Fiat for 30 anniversary in 2011 I believe. :) cheers fernando
