Looks very nice. Did you have the same saw for 18 years?

It must be verb reliable.

Just to update you all and thanks for those who has given my advice.

at the end and have bought this from the famous FR Jones and Son, price was ecxellent and it did arrived with 24 hours.

Sugi bar is much heaver than expected but I guess  because it is quality bar.

had no chance to try the saw yet but it looks amazing. only small thing it did arrive with scabbard, now I am not sure if this is usual with large saws but previously when I bought my Husky 135 and Makita saw both came with scabbards.

Congrats! That is a beast .

I am currently waiting for my own beast,  ms 660 with big bore kit

Yes mate. 

Happy days

I would always stick with OEM rather than go for Chinese big bore kits. The piston to cylinder clearances are almost always better on stock OEM top ends meaning higher compression and better torque! Also the plating on OEM is sooo much harder than the Chinese ones!

I am aware of that, thank you for the concern.
