JLC EWC "Rossi"

Sometimes unexpected things happen :)), during a visit a few weeks ago at my AD in Brussels, the owner presented me a second hand EWC 'Rossi' limited on 246 pcs. I allready wrote that golden watches where not my 'dada' in the first place, but there seems to be a virus that hitted me since I last bought my Pam 289 :))), I can't explain why but when I saw this golden EWC it just couldn't get out of my mind, promissing myself in the beginning of the year that I would only trade watches and wouldn't put up any cash any more became very difficult on this one......so okay let's make a tiny little exception for once, just a veeeery little bit of cash (+ trading a steel EWC and an IWC I only had for a few months :(( ) could save enough to bring in Mister Rossi ! Well I didn't regret, and the difference with the shinny steel version versus the rose gold is rather big on a visual point, no red accents here also, the whole gives a less busy view which isn't bad!

come to think of it this is the 3rd EWC I'm buying !! 3rd time good time ???
