L.U.C. 1860 Dials
Had a chance to photograph these three side-by-side today. The lighting was challenging, but we can see the difference. Left: Steel, "Revolution" (limited) edition with golden dial. Center: White gold, original 1860/2 (c.1998) with salmon dial and date Ri...
It's a tie between the middle one and the one on the left...

I tend to like the Revolution edition though...not sure I'll change my mind when I see in metal. The salmon is nice but I feel the Revolution edition is a tad dynamic. Best, mahesh.,
