Well it's not perfect, black second hand on black face, black suround on hands and silver ring around date window.
On the positive side black date wheel at last, great look and nice light tan strap.
Lost a tiny bit of appeal since its photoshop incarnation but still agreeable......would look epic with a black pvd case! (and loose the shiny date frame)
So, I hope it was an accident in the mock-up that the white date is cool blue-white instead of the same warm cream of the numerals etc. Weird to have a vintage-y white on the dial and a mod white on the date. Like it a lot though.

Not entirely certain about this but i don't think Switzerland has really gotten around to making fully colour matched date wheels yet - its surely on their list of things to do though.

Don't hold you breath, Swiss watch makers are so conservative about change that could take the best part of this century!
I think Orson Wells summed it up...

My best guess is preorders in September sometime.
