Whatever it is, when I get to know this ETA version is available, I ordered it straight! If not because of stuck at custom last Friday, I should receive this it on that day! Staying too long in custom, over weekend is bit worrying, this is Malaysia, I still can’t trust the government servant completely. It was well packed, thank you to Mr. Shinichi for doing this well, I was very sure it won’t have any problem when first I see it!
RXW packaging is always top class! Triple boxes, white box cover, black outer box, white foam type protector, the laminated wood box! Bit disappointed, because it is smaller than RXW MM20 box, so it can’t put in the extra black Connolly leather and screw driver (not burgeon) and it never come with Selvvt polish cloth!
The user manual was printed on thick paper in English, just like MM20. Ken Trading’s Ginza workshop business card also in the box.
Finally I see this chronograph with my own eyes, first impression is……. Small! Because I’m comparing with the Sinn U1 I’m wearing! The hand feel of the case is really solid and heavy! It is just like MM20.
Watch run well, chronograph start, stop, reset to zero as it should… lume is really good when I put it under my table, I barely seen the tritium tube, it was far below the super luminova plasmir dial!
The bracelet was solid 316 st. steel, no problem, double lock! Better feel than most rolex bracelet! The black Connolly leather strap was a beauty, hand stitch according to spec. Oh, I found a big scratch on the strap…. Immediately I snap a photo with my hand phone camera and email to Shinichi to report on this. Again his response is prompt, he admitted his mistake and said will send me a new strap! I’m happy; customer satisfaction is the most important thing in internet business! I’ll sure buy watch from him again.
When I reach home, I just can’t wait to see the tritium tube in my dark room since the watch is in the box for several hours, the plasmir dial is completely dark! It is ok, not as bright as my ball hydrocarbon, but this is good enough for me to read in complete dark room!
