 Exactly Oscar! Had I known TD was thinking of parting with the red I would have liked that one too. I believe the owner of another forum we all know may have the complete trilogy.

Will, beyond the exclusivity of the Type-1 there are many things to like about the watch though as you say there is nothing new or revolutionary to be seen. Understand 99% of the watches seen at 3T are using the tried and true ETA movements while a small percentage are true manufacture movements. With the Type-1 I appreciate the unique and beautiful blue dial which is just as clean and classic as anything, the timeless cathedral hands and a well finished and well sized case. Imho these are sublime and desirable looking watches as well as being collectible. Though I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the other dial colors I understand the red (pigeon's blood no?) is rich and wonderful.
