Elegant,Sophisticate&Wrist comfort.

hi guys,

New year 2008 opening,its a properous new beginning of the year.End of last year,i was telling to myself there must be a piece that will be eveything friendly and at the same time posessing the quality and look to captivate me,inorder to commerate(for along long time) a special reason--setting up my own company.

Before Nicolas put up the RG piece,i have seen this ti/ss verson but do not have the chance to put it on.Therefore,i can not make any actual comment s.On the appearance,did not noticed that there was running second hand located at 6 oclock untill........................the actual watch arrive.

Both RG&TI piece were infront of me.Quick glance,both the pieces speak to me.Surprice&happy to see the rotating disc at 6 oclock replacing the second hand,as i always like  moving second hand.(JLC tends to use disc more often nowsaday).After trying both RG and SS,i find SS wrist friendly to me.Furthermore the big/striking red chrono second hand is very appealing.As i was cleaning it on the bed,noticing the unique dial on the minutes and hours disc(for chrono) are special.Half the side is transparent and the other half is not.But as the dics rotate,when entering the other half,the not transparent side turn to become transparaent and are visibility clear,while the other half turns not.Dial display is fantastic to me,with lots of red colour at 6 oclock and the open center dial with two transparent disc(chrono's minutes and hour indication) not overlapping each other.The dial's expression is very much  speed and time orientated.

Here,not forgetting the leather strap is comfortable,sporty and classy.Nicolas call it as Codura mix leather(if i am not mistaken).It show the down to earth type of elegance and at the same time casual.As you can see,it is make of 2 case,one is ss and the other case is a ti.The ti sits on the ss case and the vertical trigger chrono's switch is on the 9 oclock side case.i)lock,ii)chrono,iii)chrono lock.very practical and user friendly.As this is a casual/sport chrono,we do not expect the chrono's handling's nature similar to Dato's,but from few trying it works well and its behavior are excellent on outdoor,sport's in nature chono. 

This new piece of mine proof that my choice is right ,JLC has demonstrated a high degree of consideration before coming to produce this piece.It has mixture of everything and expression of fine watch making and essence/heritage of Aston Martin.Before handling it,i was abite worry that JLC'sAMVox are very overly expose(marketing) but after possesing it,i find JLC has put in lots of effort and the did a fantastic job on this AMVOX II,DBS in particular.

As you can see,i talk alot here therefore this speaks for me.....how much i love this watch.

Hope you all like it too.....enjoy.
