My spaceship

used to be an Azimuth fan and this is one of my fave
The predator, iirc what it's called.

No longer a fan?

Just not as big a fan as before. Sold some of my Azimuth watches since. Just a change of taste.

I still do have 3 Azimuth watches in my collection now. Maybe I shouldn't have sold Mr Roboto.

The Roboto is indeed unique. I would get the old Roboto if I see a good price for it. I find the upcoming R2s too huge and heavy.

agree. the old version really made a big impact. the packaging it came in was so cute as well. the spinning nose on the robot-face was also the second-hand.

not much love for this R2.

Where is a good place to score a Bambino at a good price? Looking for the white faced, gold-colored casing variety.

In this case Rolex explorer 1 fits the bill, 39 mm diameter, light weight for Rolex sports watch standards. Elegant and simple. Grey dealer can buy for 7k ish and keep the change! Retail 8.7 k

Wah my husband told me he prefers business watch to dress watch. I asked him what's the difference. He say dress watches are brands that make watches for fashion, business watches are brands that make watches only. Got such a definition??

Anyway really gives me a headache on what he wants.

On an unrelated matter, I saw some watch straps at City Chain at $39.90, didn't ask what kinda leather but is that considered cheap?
