I agree regarding the MK3. I like the MK1b/c/d and MK4 better as well. I realize this is a minority view. I feel the padde hands are signature Enicar whereas the gladius hands scream Omega Seamaster.in terms of just appearance, I think the mk3 with the paddle hands and the lollipop second hand is more attractive, although i would admit that the gladius hands are pretty unique.
