they discontinued the white metal/black dial combo. Arguably, it was the most popular model in the earlier generation ...

I call it the "kimono" dial and some people call it a t-shirt. But regardless, everyone agrees, it's definitely cool and unusual. It's a paradox of good classic and good modernity. Definitely one of those good paradoxes.

Image the ZW dial evokes when we first saw it… I always thought this particular bold version with stark contrast between white metal bridge and black dial is a “bull”. Maybe I am predisposed since I am Taurus and your mind “sees” things it wants to see. ♉... 

I like this bull idea. And I definitely see this bull quite clearly now! Yes. We are all pre-disposed to seeing what we see. It's amazing.

The dial really feels more balanced with the original. I feel similarly for the Datograph and the 1815 Chrono.... Somehow the original designs appeals to me more.

Me to the originals… maybe it’s like the phenomenon like music artists where their life culmination to that point is in their first album!

I couldn't agree more!
