It's me or the painting of the bezel is peeling ???
Kane69 It seems to be intentional/intrinsic property of the bezel, from Mondaine's page: https://www.mondaine.com/watches/official-swiss-railways-watch/stop2go/a9500-30363-16sbg.html
"Precisely 2016 bezels have been punched from an original Ae 6/6 locomotive and meticulously mounted into the watch case. The visible marks make each timepiece this to 2016 units’ limited edition «Gottardo 2016» special and unique."
Had I not bought Stop2Go Backlight in the previous drop, having a piece of locomotive on the watch would definitely add to the coolness factor of the Stop2Go itself. Interesting that Massdrop does not advertise this watch is Stop2Go (as noted in comments below).
And another interesting thing is that of limited 2016 pieces, 300 is available on Massdrop... Not implying anything, just genuinely curious - I would think that with proper marketing, those 2016 limited units would sell out near MSRP very fast.
