Those are very nice pictures Khalid, well done and thank you for sharing!

If you don't mind me asking, does this reproduction of the Mecca have any religious purposes or is it rather a decoration?

Pleasure, Carl.

Forgive me my friend, I couldn't get your question are you asking about the watch or the Kaaba (Mecca) itself?

The Kaaba, I was wondering if it was a decoration in your house or a symbol you can use to pray (forgive my ignorance, I have never seen a small Mecca like this one before).

Actually this is a piece of art made in marble, crystal & gold. It is as a decoration.

Well it sure looks nice, thank you for the answer and, again, please accept my apologies if my questions seemed ignorant!

Once again, amazing watch!

As always, very impressive pieces, KhalidSS.

Is it all just the yellow hued lighting that's making the 5130P look like a J to me?
