It doesn’t look that well finished in the photos, that’s the problem we have the MVMT Raptor, which shares a name with an old school Cagiva motorcycle. That Raptor was fun as your NWC recalls from his bike testing days, but this one has a Miyota movement inside, open heart window and some allen key bolts on the bezel that look a bit..well, Suzuki GS500. … Continue reading Like Big Watches?
