Hi all who went to Basel - did you happen to see one of these watches in the flesh?
I am intrigued.

I have seen the second one in steel and it looks stunning...

The only thing I quite can't het over is the fact that the moon disk's blue is slightly different from the blue of the dial. It really depends how much importance you attach to the colors matching exactly or not. In any case, I was hunting for a Nebula on... 

Thanks for the input

You mention an important point. For me, the colors would have to be very very close if not identical. I appreciate your observations. Cazalea

It looks like the effect of the color mismatch is different for both watches... I think the material and color used are exactly the same for the dial and the disk. The difference seems to come from how they reflect light.
