I will agree with you that this IMO is much nicer than the blue from previous years. As to whether it is nicer than the Rogue, I’m still undecided, but I definitely like this case size better than the Rogue.
Had the privilege of having tried this on at the boutique two weeks ago and I will admit that I’m really liking it a lot. For now, still holding to my Reverso GT with a slightly earlier version of this movement.
