me neither until I saw it - I had a couple of the silver ones that came as standard on some Gazelle CM's but never managed to get the right spanner from the LBS so ended up using a bit of towel and an adjustable spanner... funtimes...

Yes, many arabesque top nuts have been mutulated in the past by the incorrect wrenches. I'm also the happy owner of a pair of these babies. Never got to use them though, I wonder how long they last since they're made of bloody aluminium. I guess the shape of the nuts spreads the pressure somewhat evenly over the alu vs alu. Maybe I should start servicing my arabesque headsets to find out.

Didn't know a black arabesque existed. Only know of the black DA.
