I've tried this model on in the AD and I must say I was very impressed. The movement especially is unlike anything else out there. In my opinion it is the most beautifully arranged of the automatics made by any manufacture. Just the right number of bridges and exposed wheels, simply stunning.

My only concern was the possibility of mistaking the hands when reading the time.

In practice is it ever an issue or is it very easy even at a quick glance?

Thanks John! As for mistaking hands -- not a problem as the width, color and arrow differentiate them. It is truly easy on the eyes.

Ken,

I seem to remember you mentioning in another thread that you originally bought this model in RG when it first came out.

Now that you have this model, are you holding onto your RG model too or merely enjoying the best of both worlds?

Al- I sold the RG one a few years back and always regretted until the WG one came out. Being a white metal guy for the most part I knew I had to eventually get this one! So finally I kept looking at it and caved in.
