Factoid of the Day - 1/16/08
from pocketlint:18 October 2006 12:29 GMT - It seems designers have been racing each other to design the world's smallest LED wristwatch, and the competition has been won by Tokyoflash Japan. The Restu has a futuristic design, with a line of lights corresponding to digits. The lights race up the watch and stop at the number to be read. This is repeated for each number to tell the time.

It comes with a chic black suede strap, and costs 14,900yen.

Went to my local AD today as the new strap had arrived for my 5167a (at a cost of ¡ê180). This was not the AD that cut the first strap where I bought it from, as it is much further away and she was wanting to send the watch to Patek to get the new strap changed over as she was not confident in removing and fitting a new strap to the lugs. When I arrived I explained the situation regarding fit and also I was nervous about getting any marks/scratches when changing strap and sizing. He explained that he has never scratched a watch before (in 30 years in the business), but no-one can guarantee it 100 per cent as we are all human. I explained that I am OCD with watches and asked him to tape the lugs and be very careful. I asked him to confirm before he started that the watch had no m
