Hi all,

Today I pulled out this Cosmo King. In the eighties this was a popular watch in Asia due to its close resemblance to a Rolex, even down to the day display from 11-1 o'clock. There were even aftermarket rolex dials which had feet to match the ETA 2836 dial fixing points. This one survived! I got as a security for a small loan (below the value of the watch) to a workmate at the time. Sad to say he left the company and we lost contact. This watch falls into the category of watches I would not have bought but as it ended up with me I kind of like it.  I've had it for around 23year and its not been serviced in the time, will get around to it soon.

The Tissot crown on these watches are plated, not gold filled like on the Rolex..

Titoni even gave the case back a coin edge to give some resemblance to the Rolex caseback. The original sticker still in place..shows how little use it gets!

The bracelet is a typical Rolex Jubilee pattern..But seems like Titoni was one step ahead of Rolex and got their right angle drill first!! The bracelet pins go into blind holes instead of the thru holes on Rolex!

Anyway I hope you like the picture of one of my King. If you have any other nobility (or even lesser ranks..presidents, generals) please share pictures!
