By: SALMANPK : July 8th, 2009-03:33
There are very special moments in one's watch collecting life and they are far and few between, hence that is what makes them memorable. The chance to own those very few pieces that are in effect the very basis of a brand is indeed a great honor. It would...

Hearty congrats, my friend, on obtaining such a rare and interesting piece! I loved how your macros showed the bronze peeking out from under the PVD to great effect. Also, the domed plexy is so attractive. The added dimensionality and illusion of heft pro...
