It's been a long time...
Greetings TRF,
I haven't taken a picture of this one for a rather long time so I thought one would be in order tonight. I'm still really glad I've been able to find such a beautiful (it is, at least, my humble opinion) watch in such a good condition. Thank you for watching, feel free to comment!

Here's a review I wrote on this very watch a few months ago, it tells you everything I personally know about it (I even had to write to the Rotary Watch Group, the company who owns that brand, to get some information I wrote). If you want a very little summary this one is the 18kt gold version of a model they now produce only in stainless steel, the gold version was produced and sold in a very little quantity (without being a limited edition) and is now discontinued. It is (and I'm not trying to brag) the only 35 mm model I've seen since I've bought mine, I saw a 25 mm model later on on Ebay but it has been sold and I haven't seen another one of those either ever since. I hope it helps a little bit!

Very nice Carl. I can see why you would never part with it.

P.S.: It's a quartz watch, I think you must know that before you think about this very model. Thank you my friend! Can you believe I thought about selling it a few months back? May I tell you I'm really (and I mean it, really!) glad I didn't! Thank you for the good words!
