First many thanks for the live pictures and the report.
I was actually wondering why you did not write anything about this novelty that caught my attention too a lot.
As you, I find also a mp and a pointer date above just heavenly!
With this model you get even more calmness in it if you leave the central second away, IMHO.
The second hand does not really jar with the design but without it would look more "dramatic" and less "every day like".
My choice, as we know that you are not a coloured metal person, would be the RG one though.
I really look forward to see this one in metal...
Many thanks
