Gold R'Police (Tokyoflash Retrofit) LED watch

Today's watch is a rather heavy one, and a bit bling too.
The watch is by R'Police - or that is what I assume as the ' is actually a small rectangle on the real logo which can be found on the back of the watch. The history is a bit of a mystery, as it is also referred to as a Tokyoflash Retrofit watch too, and I've seen pictures with that on the back instead. I guess that there were different versions released for different markets.
The case is a heavy steel construction, and in this case in gold, but you could also get silver and gunmetal versions. It is made in the style of a drivers watch with the display on the side, but not so useful for drivers as you need to press a button to show the time.
The display is a dot matrix of green LEDs. When the button is pressed, there is a quick animation and then the time is shown. Time display is in 4 digits, but it is more unusual in that you can choose 12 or 24 hour display (the 12 hr display showing a little p when it's afternoon). Date is also a display option, but not seconds. Power comes from a CR2032 battery.
