Buying Preown Azimuth advise

[Haolian King]

Hi all,

First of all, Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

I got a question regarding Azimuth. I am thinking of buying a Preown Roboto but where to verify or how to make sure it is authentic? Can anyone kindly advise?

Thanks!

Thanks bro. You mean Bezel does verification? Any idea how much? Thanks.

Very nice and unique watch.

I doubt there are any fake Azimuths out there.

But since their boutique is newly opened at Mandarin Gallery, that should be the best place to go for verifying?

Hope this helps.

Being an Azimuth watch collector, I have yet to know or come accross any replicas not to mention the Roboto.(I call it the roberto). The roboto's mechanism and casing would be difficult to copy.

Further to that you have the following options if you dun wish to bring it to chris (mandarin gallery) to verify (I am not sure if there is a charge for this):

1) Make sure you have the full box (outer with the classic colorful robort picture and the inner leather case with watch changing tool in tube), certification card and manual.
2) Make sure the card serial is the same as the watch serial.
3) See if the set comes with the mini roboto keychain.
4) Strap with Azimuth markings.
5) Watch make should be flawless (smooth lines, nicely polished, clear indicator glass.

And lastly if it is surprisingly cheap, you should suspect something is wrong. The RRP for roboto was around 6+k.

Thank you all for your help. Yes I think Azimuth watches replicas are not common to see in the market. Esp the more unique ones like the spaceship, roulette, roboto becos of their diff mechanism. But it is always good to be 100% sure since it is not a small sum of money. And this forum is certainly great and helpful with so many friendly ppl.

Cheers!
