Just beautiful! Are they still as reasonably priced as we predicted?

Not sure how much it will be retailed in USA...

Hi Joe02140 Over here the retail price remains. An indication using current exchange rate USD/SGD of 1.45, the retail price here is just over USD5,000. I think it is very value-for-money. Kong

Hi Aaronm Similar name, the PNo : is 16/1905. However It comes in 18K WG, RG & WG. The dial is guiiloched with the sunburst pattern, more of the luxury range. The 'Mark III Classic' comes in Stainless Steel case. Hope I answer your question. Kong

I prefer the Mark III classic (SS) as I think is more subtle, classy and the 2 tone slated design works very well.

irresistable
