Khronos 1,339 Posted August 12, 2015 Looks bloody amazing,love the dial! My personal favourite is the blue dial SNKN01. Also like the pimp daddy gold version, but I know I can't pull it off...and gold plating probably won't last very long. Wear it in good health! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.Rico 1 Posted August 12, 2015 looks very nice ,i like that style . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted August 12, 2015 How's the bracelet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxindebox 472 Posted August 12, 2015 How's the bracelet? Not too bad actually, nicely finished with polished mid-links. The only slight problem is that it has a very small clasp with only two adjustment holes. Luckily enough it fitted beautifully with two links out and the adjuster on the smallest hole. Standard split pins too, not the cuff variety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a fantastic piece, and it won't be off my wrist for a while (although I might give the Sumo or SARB a run out...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
