Hello my dear friend KM! Thank you for your kind message!

Always my big pleasure to share my watches and thoughts here. Absolutely agree with you that the caseback relief image omission was a cost reducing decision. A minor flaw but a very nice feature of previous variant which is lost! The watch is big but a bi
