Slam Dunk of Style: freaky salmon pink, loosest bezel of the lot, and I wouldn't buy it

The Southeast Asian slam dunk

The SSK043K1. They call it the Slam Dunk of Style, and it was made strictly for the Southeast Asian market. A limited piece, 1,300 examples, and mine is number 167 of 1,300. It has a mundane 4R34 behind the display window, and it's a thick piece, but it's got a lovely salmon pink dial, a red GMT hand, and a white rehaut with a 24-hour and minute scale.

Look at that Hardlex crystal with the chamfer. Beautiful.

Loose as they come

This one has the loosest of all of the bezels. When you wind it, it starts moving. It's so loose. There's nothing in it. And the cyclops can just go away.

Verdict

I wouldn't buy it, but I see why people like this. They love these freaky colours in Thailand, and it's quite an eye-catcher. It is.
