When at Lam's place, I have actually ask him to take out the U black (PVD coating / Diamond crush coating ?) for my handling and feeling, (Normally do that at any watch shop). A group of us WIS was discussing about this watch where I did mentioned that this model uses 2824 movement and Lam agreed.
We did also bring out the possibility of what will happened if the coating were to chip off and Lam just shake his head.
Yes, It is a commission piece placed there by his regular customer. When we mentioned rm5k, which prompt Lam to negotiate. I was tempted too but hold onto my horses as I have just committed on a IWC ingenieur and a cartier Santos recently.
I am with Scott as I still prefer the normal sub steel.....U1/2.
Lam's place is at the Summit - USJ. We can drop by at his place and go yam-char on a Sat.
What say you.
