Azimuth boutiques (MG and MS) all closed shop, with the MBS branch just closed this July/august.
Now they have this "shop-in-shop" concept with Krasnaya at ION.
And yes, monster time at FEP, since it's same boss anyway.

Ya I believe so, azimuth I think sort of fizzle out.. No new designs, some existing designs also quite out of norm, either hate it or like it..

Seriously no luxury watch is worth it first hand or used. Doesn't make economic sense to buy one, so if u like it just buy it and wear it. Unless you are a chronic "flipper" like me, buy wear for a while, get bored, sell, loose money...then better off to buy used to minimize losses.

A watch is a mechanical device. I would never know if the previous owner dropped, knocked or got water into it. Therefore I feel at ease buying first hand. Stuff like Lego, barbells etc yeah can get 2nd hand. Besides, if it's not polished( which is actually removing material) it bears scars of a life lived which isn't mine. I only can bear with scars and scratches I made.

Check the rotor of the watch to see if it's able to rotate freely. That could be the issue.
