Nice one Hobbit  :thumbsup:
From Watchxxt huh?

Yeah. Was suppose to pick up another piece as well but sadly it did not work out. Anyway the rationalisation process continues. 1 in 16 out. Sigh......

I must agreed, this is ugly! Especially when I compare this with sm300
where the sm300 design is much smoother, beautiful bezel, lovely curve....

But I just love it's uniqueness....

alot of different

but enzo is back to basic like this....
no cnc, all by hands, cutting out the case, hands.....

so it may look close
but enzo case is smoother on the edges..... bigger case, thick sapphire crystal.....

Hello I am on this today. Only wearing this for the second time after 7 months. Notice there is something "missing" from the watch? Quality issue? or it a keeper? comments?  What are you thoughts?  :shocked1: :Praying: :thumbsup: :thumbsdown: :o 8), it is not a replica, cos I bought it from a reputable AD in KL. Rollie's QA issues? or an Unique Piece?

Cool watch and congrats. MAke sure if you ever send it in to RSC/ TSC, make sure they don't change the dial.

Bro, is it possible to have a close up photo, just want to see why the word missing, are those alphabet still inside the case, hanging around? or by default, the word already missing from the dial?

terrenceterrence,

George Lan? Any contact? Still trying to meet up with Ted Su.

Ended up with this, the updated (new design) X Flottiglia MAS GR GAMMA 1945 strap. It's the one on the PAM00243. The strap on the PAM00111 is the limited edition (40 pieces) X MAS Originale GR GAMMA 1945 strap. The newer strap is a tad darker as compared to the limited edition strap.





genec,

Why the sigh? The LACO, both dial A and B. Was more focused on these 55 mm monsters. Wish I had the 'guli' to carry these.
