It's been a while since I made a post here, as I've been busy with work and family life.. Few weeks ago when I travel to Jakarta to meet some of my risti friends, I happened to see a very gorgeous and rare PreA9 OP6500.. I couldn't resist and said no when...  

Congrats again Sam!

A PVD base would make an extra depth to your already extensive and amazing collection.. By the way, this got something similar to your 207/A Best, Sam

Truth be told....
