The idea indeed came from the K2 Bauhinia model with a black MOP dial. When I heard about this model, all pieces were sold out. I am a sucker for MOP dial, so I was quite disappointed in missing the release. Then a collector friend encouraged me to contact Kudoke directly, which I did. I was able to make a custom order and I chose the white or bright MOP, to be a bit different than the Bauhinia model. Mine is the second K2 with a white MOP. Thanks ๐
