I say Isham. Different enough from the Dover, and would go better with the lighter colors you have in mind. Would be a good make-up for a Florida gent...

Speaking of which, is anyone interested in a GMTO for the G&G Isham in vintage chestnut?

I'd be interested in the Isham. In either Vintage Chestnut or Racing Green smooth leathers or variations in pin/ Hatch Grain. Midnight Blue Lining. HAF soles.

Dear Gentlemen,
I would like to gauge interest for a Carmina split toe derby GMTO model 80189 as below:

in either plain calf or hatchgrain.
Colour could be dark burgundy (as in the picture above), burnished brown or dark brown.
I would prefer a single leather sole but also Tomir is acceptable for me.
Last is going to be Soller or Rain or any other wide/high instep compliant last.

Thanks goes to @Leaves for his advice on this makeup

^ Thanks guys. Very psyched. Went back and forth on whether to do a tough boot with the Utah leather. Look forward to testing it out, really liked the look of it on the Kentmeres that Skoak is running but in the end wanted a veldt Galway.

Yeah, congrats, buda. I went with a 64 veldt Galway on Utah as well. No shearling, though. The waiting game is on...

I personally find a color too dark tend to hide the split toe rather than show it off.This feature is the only reason why EG and GG split toes are above other brands.

In gold, right? Should be great! The good news is that we have like 6 or 7 months before we should in a hurry to have these (or maybe 9 or so for me with the shearling) - though I'll of course be happy to get mine much sooner.

No, I ordered mine in chestnut (with Christmas red lining for kicks!). Skoak says four months for EG MTOs but like you, I am setting my expectations for 6 months.

I thought about going for the dark brown Utah like the Kentmere, but figured I had less overlap with the chestnut. Both are great as Utah was my first choice. Later (??), I might consider CC or a two-tone Galway.

I thought gold and chestnut Utah were the same color. Regardless I know what you are talking about though (like Leffot's 82 last model) and that is what I was thinking of. Should be beautiful.
