Yes sir, limited edition of 100 pieces. Best of all, no Rimova anywhere on the watch.

Hmm, the only Luxury German Brand that could make it to my swiss list is probably glashutte

I doubt people are ready to pay that much for any Russian and Italian made watch left glashutte.

Do let me know if there are any collectible ones priced around rm20k range,

Errr Glashutte is neither Russian nor Italian. Errr I think Panerai is still Italian and people are paying around rm20k for the watches, in fact the Que. is pretty long for the PAM00372 which is priced around RM30k.

Define 'collectible'. If you have more then 1 watch, you have a collection, or if you have many watches, but some are divers, then you have a collection of diver watch.

Have to agree, here are some photos as poison (not mine). BTW, could you remember what was the cost of the watch?





The caliber 100.
