All I need you to do is change the color of the hour and minute hands to black, and change the sub-seconds hand to gold. You can use the hour markers as the reference gold color.

Not really a fan of the gold second hand since it doesn't stand out. So I created 2 versions - one with gold second hand as requested, another with a striped second hand imitating the hour markers...

Gold second hand:

Thank you very much!

Let me tell you why I'm doing this because I have at least two more I'd like to do. I've never owned a watch with a sub-seconds hand before, and none of the offerings by the watch company have the combinations I'm requesting here. I still want to keep it professional looking, but my worry is that the sub-seconds hand will interfere with telling the time at a quick glance. I'm most concerned with how all the hands will overlap each other when the time is something like 6:27:15.

I've worked on watch faces before with either sweeping second hands or a separate sub second as you call it. Either format can be quite elegant although I prefer the sweeping hand myself. In the greater scheme of things, it comes down to personal choice. If you are concerned about the mechanics of 6:27:15, I think that's been compensated before. Visually, it only last a second. :)

Please do post your needs here - you'll get some good responses from the resident artists...
