Shing ! Beautiful hand wound watches. Red gold with Ardoise dial - A perfect dress watch.Personally I prefer the IW5454.

Vishal.

Vishal - i agree with u. the RG 8 days wowed me for a long while, but my ref 5251 has sort of shaken off that spell.

to me, the RG ardoise/black dial has so much understated elegance and class - I think it would go very well with a black suit and on weekends too, by itself for me it is a perfect 'ok, no date so no work' theme to it.

Ardoise with a "touch" of RED - now, your talking Shing.

Fantastic lineup - but difficult to chose one.

Closest I get is this...

hmmm. choices!

Love the watches but...Disagree totally with the mix of Ardoise and RG. None of those shown by Shing has any lume and the contrast is poor, try reading them in some candlelight restaurant or under ordinary street lights. Anyone got a torch?

Greg, I agree fully with you. Against this, my Spitfire Chrono Ardoise lights up like a firefly!

Yes Mark, I agree the Lume on the Spitfire is almost as bright as a small flashlight at times.

My contribution:

Shing, I would definitely choose the 5001!

Beautiful watches Shing. I particularly like the Portofino 8 days!

Kind regards,

Clemens

Shing, the Portofino 8 days looks great on your wrist.

These days I see a lot of red too, mostly on weekends though. :-)

Blue,

They say when you're in the RED, that's not good. But that red on your wrist is nothing but absolute fabulous. Beautiful AT...

Andy,

If later this month at the Vegas boutique store I find my wrist can wear that humongous Big Pilot ceramic perpetual calendar, you bet I'll see a lot more red, my bank account that is. :-) At that time I might as well start calling myself the Red Orca. :-)

Blue,

LOL,LOL, LOL !

There's a chance I could be in Vegas also toward the end of this month. Let me know what time and day you'll be at the boutique. I'll bring my camera. Never seen a "Red Orca". Will want to show proof of the "one that got away".
