can assure you the lume is hand painted on each and every piece (actually well visible on your 806, one of the less precise examples, especially the 5 is slightly "shaky", for the 765AVI we've re-trained the "lume painters" and reached an even higher standard).

also note the two cases may appear similar, but are actually different in every detail, compare shape or edges and chamfering on the lugs, the original AVI was slightly "softer", the 806 all razor sharp, duplicated on the Re-Editions.

we've tried to be as precise as technically possible in every detail (note all subdial hands are different, a detail you could easily overlook), any errors are my fault (yes, there are some miniscule errors on the 806, found none on the 765AVI yet, but I'm sure there's something I've missed).

thanks for the great review!
