Thx I don't know where you got the impression that the SLA017 is of low quality - it's my best "SLA" so far As for the SLA025 - excellent materials used & excellent finish. Unfortunately mine was very dusty... as if they had to rebuild it. I wrote about the issue extensively.... I saw another example recently and while it also had some dust (as all watches do, regardless of manufacture), it was quite within acceptable limits.

Many thanks I mentioned recently meeting Mike Horn and guess what, it was in HK

Thx I would certainly recommend you go give it a try! Just be warned, when you're starring down at it on your wrist, it will be very hard to take it off and almost impossible to leave the AD without it...

Agree! You have yourself an awesome trio there,

So many thanks
I know that the hunt is much of the fun! I spent about four years looking for my PAM 111G when I finally managed to find a decent one earlier this year. I certainly imagine you'll find your SLA033 much sooner than that - looking forward to hearing about your adventures
