Incoming - A Twist on a Classic
 I got it 5 days ago to be exact! OK... it's not a popular contemporary models we often see here but this discontinued reference is a love-at-first-sight despite its age! With the help from some very knowledgeable members from various forums as well as the exceptional service from AP Singapore, I was able to acquire this rare piece with a peace of mind, and tremendous pleasure.  The special material combo and that exquisite flat dial make a refreshing twist from the classic RO design. It might be small by today's standard, but the 36mm case balance well on my wrist, and it is hefty thanks to the tantalum. The two-tone appeal completes the twist!  As this reference is really rare, I'm very pleased to receive great assistance from Oliviero and his team from AP Singapore on the verification of the accuracy and originality of the design. I must say, the joy of this particular acquisition does not only come from the intriguing product, but also completed by the exemplary service from the brand. I'm very satisfied :)
