Congrats and thanks for the post

 

Great watch, tried one in RG and am waiting to see the regular SS version. I think the gold numerals do great on the silver dial. IWC does the same trick with its Portuguese watches and it works out great. Ads to the readibility too I guess?

My AD told me that they didn't choose a sapphire back just because of the high gold price (?). Well if they wanted to keep the price of the RG version within a certain budget they had to save on other issues like for instance a see through case back. Not because of the sapphire, but because making the caliber look pretty seems to cost an awfull lot of money. So now the SS is offered for a very fine price too! Don't know if this is the truth, but I can imagine. Still I would had opted for the sapphire back, but hell it still makes a beautifull watch even without it.

Best,

Starman
