[RE]master02 !  Also tried on the mini ROs for ladies smile

Based on photos, I thought [RE]master02 looked a bit weird and not balanced but was intrigued by the overall appearance.  First thing that came to my mind was the watch seemed to be the rectangular version of Millenary which is an elongated on the sides.  Do you get the same feeling ?

Once I had it on and inspected it, I was smitten because the polishing on the dial and case is excellent !  Each hour's triangle is a separate piece, hence 12 pieces on the dial with each polished on its own. The crystal is one piece with the right hand side sloping down.  How to do that ?  In the metal, it is a wonderful piece and IMO very art deco !  The strap is so nice !  What are your thoughts ?

Although the mini RO are lovely but really small.  Overall given the gold bracelets, they are good value for money IMO.  Only negative is the quartz movement.  Would you get this for your wife, daughter, and/or girlfriend ?

Like the idea of the Remaster…

But am a bit disappointed that they felt they needed to grow it so much in size compared to the original 🤷🏻‍♂️

+1 I like the design but it doesn't work on a so big watch imho 😱

And it must be a pain for the rear of the hand 🤔

True ! The large size IMO gives

significant wrist presence and attention !

Very nice report, thank you.

By chance, do you know the percentage of each metal component in this Remaster?

You are most welcome ArmisT !

The case is sand gold which is very light yellow and under bright lights looks like white metal. Please clarify your question.

Sorry, let me clarify: my understanding is that this sand gold is an alloy…

so it contains a percentage of gold plus a percentage of other metals (e.g. palladium, copper, etc.). So I was curious if there’s any information on what percentage each component (yellow gold , palladium, etc) contributes to the final metal? Thanks.
