    The top one is apparently a WAK2181, and is for sale on eBay.

    Has this been featured before? It is quite nice.
    @Mr_Orange would probably like it.

    It is quite nice, but I prefer the McLaren 1974 Edition that I have. The silver opaline dial and black registers work really well.

    Ah OK. I didn't spot that. How stupid! I think 8 is lucky in the Chinese culture... not sure what it has to do with Switzerland though.

    Yes, @elbeik's post preceding my question, since I wonder about the significance of the number 8 that prompted them to make it stand-out on this "Exclusive Swiss" model.

    Yes, I asked them a while ago why that was...as you say, every single date is set to 8 in official shots and that's been the case for many years. No-one really knew- but they thought it was simply because there was a nice symmetrical look to the "8"...it's not a nod to the Chinese market.
