pplater, that is the colour of the dial that I like the most. The colour looks stunning and changes with different light.
The one on the left, would be just perfect, but I know that it is no longer in production

Chucky, I also like dark coloured dials and the blue looks like another option.............Oh so many different possibilities 
Though the jumping second is quite rare and great to watch, it must be fun explaining to non horologist, that its a mechanical watch and NOT a quartz! LOL
It's a shame, in some way, that added complication, which fits on top of the base movement hides so much.
Please keep your thoughts & photos coming.

Doubtless you've searched and already seen many pictures
Here are a couple from my Habring 2 , as custom designed with Richard and Maria. It was a wonderful process, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. My only regret is that I now desire another one, but cannot abide having exactly the same case, etc. F...
Thanks Daniel for your report........
It's great to see how various parts on the movement are crafted. I hope to experince some of Maria & Richards work on Thursday :)
