It’s sapphire. Most people can't believe it just looking at the photos. The nice thing about it: the domed glass of the 127 looks „romantic“ like plexi but is much more robust. How are you with yours, Ted? ☺️

Fiddy for sometime already. One day, I was in HongKong waiting for a ferry to Macau. To kill time I had a walk around in the surroundings. I saw it in a shop's window, took out the credit card, walked into the shop, put in on the counter and said: I want that one, please. Lolllllllllllll
