Hi Joey,

Found these pictures of the new GT79R.

That's pretty much the extent of the finish. It looks nice!

Up to 10% stronger and slightly heavier casting weight.

Performed exceptionally on our trip in PNG.

Thanks Luke and Khairi. Just got one from Richard and it is a pure delight.
Yes it can punch out 185g Pandora comfortably. For those interested, there are at least 2 color variations: the brown one and the one with darker pattern (didn't know this until i saw one at Sansui in Tokyo last week that has much darker pattern than mine- I think it is the 1st picture Khairi posted).
Cheers!
