I had a beautiful Pal Zileri suit: they dont make watches. Bearing that in mind the best that you can hope for is Swiss construction and an ETA action. The majority, if not all, are licensed products and manufactured by the licence holders

thought it would be something along those lines.

Its been donated as a prize for a charity event by someone who is not likely to cut corners on cost, just trying to figure out where it fits in on the podium!

Didnt know they had watches.
Not sure that watch looks good at all tbh.
However their Suits are superb along with their Shirts.

OK found out what it is now that said piece has arrived, with a whole heap of paperwork.

Watch itself is nothing special in so much as it has a Seiko kinetic movement, but its the "provenance" i guess.

Seems its a one of 50 piece made to order by the Pal Zileri boutique in Dubai (explains the style i guess) that was made purely as a gift for "preferred customers"

Watch comes with all the paperwork explaining as such.

Still, makes for a nice prize, and an interesting addition to a collection i guess!
