[Please Type Something Here]

Thank you so much for this thoughtful response — it’s exactly the kind of perspective I was hoping to find here. Your wrist-feel observation on the Pagoda is genuinely valuable. The 5500P had been on my shortlist precisely because of its platinum case and

Wonderful ref that I have always loved
