Azimuth King Casino Watch
The Azimuth King Casino is sure to divide opinion. More sculpture than timepiece, this roulette-inspired wristwatch is part tool, part toy. If you're not familiar with the brand, this model may shock you, but rest assured, Azimuth have previous experience in the bizarre. Where most brands might look to establish a solid set of design principles and stick to them, Azimuth takes an almost inverted approach: if it looks like nothing you've ever seen, it could well belong to this bold brand.Given Azimuth's reputation for novelty, it is quite refreshing that the Azimuth King Casino is a blatant evolution of an earlier model, known as?the SP-1 Roulette. The Azimuth King Casino has built on the traits of its older but smaller brother. The Azimuth SP-1 Roulette measures 35mm across and features a simple roulette game; the Azimuth King Casino is a whopping 45mm across and has built on the function of the roulette game to add a new element inspired by the card game of Baccarat.Both watches in th

Caliber 1140 crown lock on movement
Following is a picture of the front plate of the movement:I've redone the balance and hairspring, and I am having issues with the crown not locking. I put it in and there is no resistance and it doesn't wind or come out to set the time. I've had this issue before and somehow with the pins on the front of the plate. Please remind me!Thanks.

New (to me) Seiko Bullhead chrono
...on an original fish bone bracelet.Interesting how the bracelet is asymmetric to accommodate the asymmetric case shape. The case is wider at the 12 o'clock side, to make room for the crown and pushers, than at the 6 o'clock side. So while the lug widths (and end links) are 20mm at both ends, the bracelet is 20mm at the 6 o'clock end but flares to 24mm at the 12 o'clock end!70's bracelets, Japanese or Swiss, usually seem to be designed more as torture devices than anything else. They all have a thin, cheap, tinny feel compared to modern bracelets this fish bone bracelet is no exception it seems too thin and underweight to support the weight of the watch head. 70's bracelet building technology just couldn't cope with the designers' imaginations. Honestly, most 70's bracelets, even from expensive brands like Omega and Rolex, seem like they were made in someones garage when compared to even cheap modern bracelets from China.I think there's a bracelet swap in this watch's futur

Planet Ocean 8500, silver numbers with orange bezel
I have a 45.5mm 8500, ceramic bezel with silver numbers. Used to have an orange 2500 and starting to miss the bright bezel. Anyone have a picture of the 8500 with orange bezel/silver number combo? Or even an idea of how much a new bezel incert cost?Thanks in advance! Cal

Patek Philippe Collectors Dinner last night in Philadelphia
Some of you might have even been there! If so, sorry to have missed you. Last night I had the awesome privilege of joining fellow TRF friends myopiccoog and StuxNet for a collectors gathering in Philadelphia, sponsored by Govberg Jewelers. It was held in the Franklin Institute and we got to view some fantastic pieces on display.Apologies for the lousy camera phone pics as the lighting was a bit dim - good for romance perhaps but not so good for capturing fine details!Clockwise from top left we have:1. 5307P instantaneous perpetual calendar tourbillon with minute repeater. With 40 baguette diamonds (3.91 tcw) it's supposed to have a sound like no other. MSRP approx $850,000.2. 5131 World Time enamel dial in J and G. Much discussed here in TRF so not much detail necessary IMHO. 3. 5074P perpetual calendar minute repeater with cathedral gongs. MSRP approx $620,000.4. 5160R perpetual calendar with retrograde date. Lovely engravings on the case - not for everyone but impressive to behold in
