I mean the first one, from 1997. In platinum with a 36 mm case. 

Just gorgeous, even if I must admit that I prefer the Millenary in steel, which has more " cool factor ", in my opinion.

Best,

Nicolas

Agreed, I like how the white strip allows the specific hour to be highlighted…

but in the new one all the numbers are obvious. But as Nico said, it is easy to get accustomed to.
