New Alox
on: August 18, 2017, 06:30:57 PM
As some may have learned, SMS has announced a new limited ribbed alox: Cadet pink. But be warned. I've learned from a dealer that the entire run is damaged. Don't know where or how badly.

Yes, entire run. Maybe that's why they just reduced the price from 32 to 28,80 euros.

They wanted to run a special black edition, but someone messed up the pain station.  :facepalm:

Damaged anodization due to the keyring during transport, according to the website.

Interesting... What's SMS?

A couple of days ago I ordered their last remaining Weinrot Pioneer. Supposedly B-stock, inferior aloxing or whatever. I half expected a drippy balls-up like one of Swissbianco's Jackson Pollock efforts. So when my Pioneer arrived today I was pleasantly surprised to find it looking as perfect as any alox I've ever had my hands on. Minimal rubbing from the key ring, which is pretty much on every single piece of brand new Alox. (And blimey, the colour is fantastic.)
All I can say is, thanks SMS, for being über-perfectionists!
If they have some alox you're keen on, I'm pretty sure you can order it and not be disappointed.

Dear lord...so much good stuff there. I just picked up an extra LCSAS PionX, so I shouldn't get anything else now. But that pink Cadet looks nice. Maybe the wife needs one.

Got word from my friend in Switzerland who bought me the Pink Cadet. He said that he sees nothing wrong with it!

I have not had any luck trying to track down a channel to order some of the schweizermesser shop product to the US.  Is there a secret code word, or possibly a trusted forum member that can act as an intermediary?   I really like some of the Alox colors available there.
