Grand Seiko Watch Roadshow 2012 At Arizona Fine Time
To be honest with you, I don't really like shopping for watches. I've visited some high-end stores, but have never had a good experience. Haughty and ignorant clerks make for a bad time. It's somewhat understandable in that most customers are not watch geeks, but I'm still averse. So keep that in mind when I tell you that I had a blast visiting the watch showroom at Arizona Fine Time for their Grand Seiko roadshow. This is an unusual place indeed.(Ariel visited last time, and I recommend reading his writeup here as I'll try to not duplicate what he said.)To my mind, the most interesting thing about AZ Fine Time is the back-story of how they came to be selling fine watches and cigars.

I'd knocked one out and after they disbanded caught another and dragged him to the police, he's in jail now, but no Rolex, and no insurance sadly. Apparently a gang there positions people in bars to watch for target watches and calls them up to attack them as they leave. Seems I was lucky as a German girl attending the show did the same as I and was stabbed a few times. I'm a Barcelona veteran and still got screwed over so look out all.Stolen Ro
