Look at the street prices for the Nikon D810 and Nikon D750 and take the
average. So about about $2350.00 but the price will probably fall to
Nikon D610 price levels after about 9 months...

I'm just wondering how much $$$ it will be for this camera. 4K? 3K?
If it was around 2K I think I might bite, anything much higher and
it'll just be on my wish list for a long time.

I can actually see the use for it, though I can't imagine it being a high
priority. See, my dream would be having a working aperture ring, a shutter
speed wheel, and and a dedicated. (well, programmable, but that's how I'd
set it up), ISO wheel, which would put all the important exposure controls
at one's fingertips. I expect that the top unmarked wheel changes function
based on camera settings. Maybe even directly influenced by the where the
right function dial is set.
Really I'd rather have an aperture ring on the lens, and be able to set the
ISO and shutter speed by the back and front wheels, but I doubt that Ricoh
will be putting aperture rings on any new lenses, until all lens body
connections are electronic. So I guess I'll take the three wheels, for that
/if/ I'm right.

Your “selector switch” might be just that. I had taken it to be a release
lever to allow rotation of the selector knob. But the markings you point out
make it seem more like a switch.
But what I totally don’t understand is the purpose of the film winder knob
on the far right of body top. No markings that I can see. I can’t think of
any controls or options that couldn’t more easily be addressed with the
long-standard front and back wheels.

Yes, I've been looking at them this morning and noticed something that
I'm not sure we've discussed yet (if it was, I missed it):
Under that selector knob just to the right of the pentaprism is a
selector switch that seems to have 3 settings.
The switch is seen well in this large overhead view:

You can see in the "behind and to the right view":

...that there are little icons on the bottom of that dial that see to
correspond to the points at which that switch can be positioned. The
leftmost appears to be a "camera" icon. I first thought the one next
to it was a video symbol, but on closer examination I don't think so
(but don't know what it is). Presumably we can see the icons for 2 of
the 3 settings, (but not the one that the switch is currently pointed
at).
Interestingly, there is also a dot on the top of the body and a
corresponding dot on the dial (that can be pointed at each other). The
two dots can be seen here:

I have to say that the "grid" setting on that dial is interesting to
me. That used to be a feature of pro cameras focusing screens. The
fact that it can be selected makes me think that it provides some sort
of lines that overlay the viewfinder (but only when selected). That
makes me think that this camera might have some sort of EVF overlay
function or some sort of hybrid optical/EVF.
