It seems that ygf hands and blue hands could be both.
Seeing that Gruen was pretty liberal with offering different dial options for many models, my rule of thumb is just pick whichever one that appeals to you most.
Yes, it seems the middle is the “standard” dial in advertising. Looking through the masterbook, its also the one that keeps appearing. But yeah, that right one tickles my fancy.

Found an example too:
/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=11135&private=0

The left one will go in the bag 263. That movement was in the lot and it could  be the original.

Which leads tot the missing minute hands.

the hour and minute hand pipes are 0.45 and 0.90 mm which is the same size as the cal 210
Yup, I have been going to my stash movements and parts this weekend. Many 210 and family hands, but seems none are those stick blue type hands. I think they are called ”Baton”? How do I define the length? In my drawers are those hands bottles, but I dont understand how the 6mm sizing works. Could be someone put them just randomly in the bottles to confuse me. 😂
