This is the most desirable version of that model, and I think it's what the True Second should have been from the beginning (i.e., more invention, less tribute). While blue is very popular at the moment, I don't think that it will lose its appeal with time. My Grande Memovox from 2001 has a metallic blue dial, and it's just as handsome today as it was back them. Wear your new Geophysic in great health!
