I bet in south east asia we can find a Mr Lim I. Teo eager to have a personalized watch. At least this is what JF thought.

PS: Big round of applause to puretime for trying to cover the typo putting their logo...

LOL, just catched how PT tried to hide this flaw, do you think they will hide it on QCs too? lol

Will do, pointed out to my TD the "Limited" issue and if the one he picks up is the same then not to bother.. funny that the more major tells don't bother me but this issue, one that won't be seen when on the wrist does!!

We all have our own obsessions and quirks in this hobby. You’re perfectly entitled to your own of course and to me it’s a valid one. A spelling mistake is different from a tell or flaw. It is something which totally can be prevented and hence it’s a different kind of mistake than say, the case thickness of an A7750 sec@12 case.

Agreed, I can live with obvious issue's because, a Rep is a Rep and can't compete with a Gen... but a spelling mistake, that's downright lazy and that Grinds my Gears!!

Lol, If only it was pride of brazil i could understand

Among all the “pride” models produced by AP, The Pride of Siam is probably my favorite.
It is a model which is unique in many aspects, significantly the white ceramic bezel which no other 42mm AP ROO (diver excluded) seems to have (from my casual memory) I will buy it in a heartbeat if I come across one priced reasonably.
I like models with ceramic bezels and also models with gold indices and hands. The combination is just so elegant.

Indeed it looks sexy, almost the same as the fantasy build by Tommy who's outstanding as well.
