The WG / Blue dial is a winner.
It looks like a Fantastic piece, indeed. To be seen in the flesh.... As fast as possible! Best, Nicolas

OK!

personally i really like the white dial.
the blue dial looks superb, but seems to be just a larger version of the old San Marco enamelled dial. it would be a shame if its ETA based as i thought they would have progressed past that stage now with their new movements. Graham
I think the decision for a tried ETA base was good ...
The "Classico" is not a watch for movement fetishists like ourselves, but more a "beginner's drug" to acquire new UN fans. In this respect, the "Classico" could be the elegantly golden counterpart to the Marine Chronometer, and as such the watch asked for...
