Hi guys,
It is kind of strange that when I just started into watches only about 2 weeks ago, I was totally into seiko. Then I started going through forums, shops and magazines.
Cut story short, I realized I like Omega, seamasters. Rolex, submariners and the wacky designs of Azimuth.
Anyone into this brand?
Is it worth collecting?
I m eyeing the roboto.

haha, it's very subjective bro
you are now exploring your options as you mentioned you just started into watches. For my case, I was like you, started with Seikos & bought all kinds of watches(Swiss,Chinese, Russians etc) until I realised I love Seikos more than others. Of cos it will take a while for u to realise wats your direction is when you are more familiar with prices, movement type etc etc
Azimuth produces nice watches but if I'm throwing a few k on a watch, I would want to read time at a glance
no doubt is a unique design

I believe that chiu r aware that it is a local watch designers Christopher Long & Alvin Lye, Azimuth holds a unique place in the watchmaking world as the only Singaporean luxury watch brand to create Swiss-made highend complication watches...
IMO that most of de watch ish mounted wit Eta movement...
back in 09, i was eyein on de Regulateur Retrograde Minutes n near poke out de $$$ out of moi pocket bt tink here n there it stil dun sing 2 me so nvr hoot...
mayb chiu hab 2 ask urself r chiu payin for de wacky designs of Azimuth or de movement
jz moi 2cents...

Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.

Yes the the roboto is nice. I like it too but did not hoot. Hoot a pilot watch instead. Do note that every year they will have some sort of sale and you can get almost 50% off retail.
