I am surprised theres not more DD40 photos yet

Considering how big this release is and with the Dd2 being discontinued I am surprised there's not more photos of the DD40 and wristshots as of now.

Hey buddenfan, have you had a chance to see the dd40 in real life yet?

I'd recommend that over pictures! Maybe visit an AD?

Seriously, pictures like this one just don't give you a real idea of how the hand-placed markers have a height above the plane of the dial, for example. And for the dials that have been laser-etched? Forgetaboutit!

Numerals look very big there, esp the 8, should have kept them the same size as the older RNs and then could have included all of them.
