Azimuth Mr. Roboto Watch Available On James List
I have to admit that I always wanted one of these Mr. Roboto watches from Azimuth. As part of their Mecha collection this large tonneau shaped watch had some interesting complications and was 100% thematically in honor of vintage wind-up robot toys. Prototype designs of the watch has a normal crown, but when it was finally released in 2008 the watch has a "winding key" style crown.The dial of the steel watch looks like a robot face, but it is all functional! The two "eyes" each have discs in them covered in lume as well as lume covered arrow indicators. The left eye is for the time's hours, and the right eye is a GMT time indicator. The power "mouth and nose" window has a small spinning red triangle star as the seconds indicator and a retrograde minute dial for the mouth. The case is 43mm wide and 50mm tall. The aging child in me loves this thing. Why is that when I was a kid most toys were plastic? Maybe that is why I play with watchesgood 'ol metal.On the back of the watch case is a

15202 case back finishing
Hi guys,I'm a pretty new owner of a 15202. A few days after purchasing I noticed a flaw on the dial, so I basically had to send it right back for service.I've just picked it back up and noticed that the case back is pretty rough and unpolished, with the surface looking different than the rest of thew case and bracelet. I didn't notice this when I first bought the watch, and it seems like fairly poor finishing for a watch of this level.Is this how they all are?For comparison, when I look on their website and watch the 360 video, they make it look smooth and polished.thanks for your thoughts.

Another ��My Dad��s�� Rolex and Japan RSC inflexibility..
So below is my Dad’s Date that I bought him for his 80th birthday. Had it engraved on the back from me. He passed away three years later and it was passed along back to me.I had it serviced just under 6 years ago at the RSC here in Japan. Quite expensive, complete overhaul and new clasp.Fast forward to today. I finally decided to change the white Arabic dial to blue Arabic. ��42,000. Found out the price in a catalogue at an AD. It took me so long to finally decide to change the dial because you know it is my Dad’s watch and I didn’t want the RSC to take the white dial as they often do and not return it. I was assured by my buddy who works at a grey that they won’t take it. So I race down to the RSC today on lunch break with my Dad’s Date.Yes they will replace the white dial for blue and they will return the original white dial. �� 42,000.So far so good. Then the counter person and then later one of their watch repair people both INSIST that I must have it se

Just had to share this pic....
