Hands on the 6350 are gilt across the auction record. Three configurations surface within the run: a long-neck Mercedes hour hand (the most commonly associated style); pencil hands inherited from the earliest Submariner cluster; and syringe-style minute hand examples. The seconds hand is the lollipop tip used on the 6200 / 6205 Submariners of the same era. The variety across an 18-month run reads as ongoing iteration or multiple dial / hand combinations assembled from shared parts bins, rather than a clean serial-ranged sequence. | Hands on the 6350 are gilt across the auction record.

The 6350 trades as one of the rarer Explorers. Honeycomb examples in original condition cluster CHF 75,000–125,000 at the major houses, with the Phillips Racing Pulse 2020 result of USD 126,000 standing as the modern-era benchmark. Standard chapter-ring gilt examples sit at the lower end. Polar-provenance lots (Douglas Prior) sit in their own tier above the standard market. A retail ask of USD 175,000 marks the upper bound of the dealer market for a clean honeycomb. | The 6350 trades as one of the rarer Explorers.
