    I had a trip with my wife in Thailand, and today is the last day of the trip. My wife took her last opportunity to have yet another session of SPA treatment in Bangkok, leaving me some free time on my own.

    I was wandering around watch shops as usual, and spotted an NOS at a display inside a shop. Classic yet sporty, credit card was laid on the table and this gave me a nice wrap up for the Thailand trip.

    What a beauty! I've never come across this version before. Where can I find more information about this model?

    Congratulations on your new purchase.

    Erwin - now that Sir is a fantastic find!

    You should send the Mrs. to the spa more often

    I really like that watch especially now since last Monday when Giovanni brought his to Amsterdam and I tried it on the wrist.

    Great add to you collection - wear in good health.

    Hi JUSB,

    It was a LE of 50pcs made for a Dealer in Asia, just like a normal Regulateur but with a Titanium case.

    a closer look at the dial, it's actually less plain than it looks from distant.

    That is an interesting piece. It must feel relatively light.

    Congrats - I actually have my eye on one of these at present but second hand, not NOS. Very nice and rare, 5444-05 made for Sincere, wear it in good health.

    Cheers,

    Ben

    Now I understand why there always are some SPA salons Bangkok malls.

    A great find especially as NOS. I am surprised that a Port Reg is cased in Ti. Steel Gold and Plat but I know of no other Portuguese that is cased in anything else until today.
    Wear in good health and enjoy it. Sure it's effect will last longer than your wife's spa! By the way, Kevin, rumour has it that the spa at Schaffhausen is very long lasting and produces as the result a spring in the owner's step and likewise a huge smile on the face.
