Azimuth King Casino : Pull The Trigger?


So there I was, having an hour or so between appointments, so I was walking around waiting for time to pass by. And lo and behold, I chanced upon an Azimuth King Casino, the 45mm enhanced version of the previous 35mm SP1-Roulette.




"What the heck?!", those unfamiliar with this quirky brand with quirky designs might exclaimed.

Well, let's just do a fast introduction on the Azimuth Roulette series namely SP1 and King Casino.



As could be seen from the above pictures, there were 2 versions of King Casino available in the shop, namely silver and gold. Both were selling at the same price, so the gold one could be the better buy. I know that these are niche watches that hardly warrant buyers' interests; so I was quite frank on the matter and asked the manager on the best price that they were willing to let go. The final price came to circa RM13k per piece.




Note also the Azimuth Twin Turbo by its side, going for circa RM18k. The manager admitted that these watches had been sitting in stock for a long time with no takers, and that they were keen to move both these models.


Honestly, the watch was simply too big to be worn comfortably, although the curved back helped lots.  But I would say that it's a unique design and could warrant a buy to gauge if it would stay in one's collection. So I flipped the watch around.






Fortunately or unfortunately, there were lots of scratches on both the watches' crown (dice), so I decided to fore-go the watch. But it's a talking piece alright.
