I agree with your initial assessment from the press photo about the date. The size, steel case with enamel dial are all appealing. I wish at least dates could be integrated more cohesively like with most Lange watches, however it would be interesting to see this watch in person. Cut off numbers/numerals also bother me with a few exceptions, like your awesome MB 1855 monopusher. I'm looking forward to seeing one in the metal where I reside shortly.
