maranez decima mas

Recommended Posts

It's getting bad. Ever since i saw the ennebi decima mas i liked the case. I have looked at the shapes on and off for some time, checked the piggy bank and come back disappointed.

Then came esdee's mille metri which cast a long shadow over all ennebis...
 
Fast forward to 2013 and Maranez release the Bangla, very similar to the decima mas. Also as the bronze mille metri is the only variant i haven't owned (there are others now also!) I decided to go for the brass bangla.
 
It arrives and boy it was a beast- here is is on its stock strap weighing in against river's steel mille metri

one disappointment is the bezel is more conservative: unidirectional but is firm and beefy. Here is the naked mechanism:

The bangla comes nicely packaged with 2 buckles, s2 straps and a very nice thick rubber "isofrane" type strap also. I had a nice 24mm one ready to go and a bronze sub-buckle so off with the stock ones! Also i wanted to patinate the case so tried liver of suplur... 2 hours very little so had to resort to more drastic alchemy. Here is the patinated case with strap and buckle:

Barely on one hour the image and the ennebi started to haunt once again. It's at this point you realise you have a problem- new watch in less than a day ad it's being taken apart. Anyway managed to get a few hours on my own (rarity) and..... The Maranez Decima mas was born!!!! Probably as close as I will get to the original for a few years...
 
Here is patinated finished reshape
