    Apologies if the captions over Vince offended you. We have an intern whose first language is not English just like Vince in the video, and he had trouble understanding, so we wanted to make it easier for viewers who may struggle with English as a second language.

    Wow never knew there was a single piece version of Jade dial. The two pieces was my all time favourite watch until now I guess. If I am given unrestricted budget for a single watch, it is THE ONE I choose in a blink of an eye.
    Also glad to see out of the ordinary APs and Rolex, the regular models are all over the internet and the influencer community nowdays
