Hahaha. A fair question....
.. that is a very well known figure or a mechanical manequin in Osaka (western part of Japan, the second biggest city) - called "Kui-Daore", a manequin which moves to lure the customer to the restaurant establishment. I believe the place is closed now, but still the manequin is remembered as sort of a "symbol" of Osaka.
The reason why chose his head as my avator is that it looks like me (?). So, when I found that smaller version figure, I was so thrilled. "Kui-Daore" means, eat and eat and eat until you can't move. Hahaha.
Hope this explains a bit. And, yes, it is significant symbol for Osaka....
Thank you!
Ken
Just because I have taken this photo :-)
... I need to know more about Rolex, but enjoying wearing this, and now I have some "toy" which clearly shows "it's me" And I just couldn't help posting it up here. Hope you have a great weekend! Ken By iPhone 5S Ken...
Cool pix. The flowers really enhances the perspective.
Green amongst red, complimentary colors. But I have a question. Perhaps it has been answered elsewhere but what is the significance of the clown and you? Is it because you like clowns … or are afraid of them? ;-) Aloha, Bob

LOL Hai. Wakarimashita.
I don't recall seeing that figure in all of my previous travels to Japan but, I must say, to me, Japan always seems to be at the forefront when it comes to figures as such. Ken~san, 日本人ですか？ アロハ ボブ
Yes, I am...
..... a mod stationed in Japan and Japanese :-) When you come to Tokyo, drop me a line! Ken
I know you too well to know that you don't care about the need to show it s you.
What I find more interesting is that you chose THAT model. The 16610 LV ( not for Louis Vuitton, but for Lunette Verte :) ) You could have chosen a normal Sub, no, you went for this one, which was made for some what... 6; 7 years? Only you can tell us why...
I went for this..,,
..., simply because it looked so cool and most of all, Mark I dial and fat 4 bezel - the paper says 2003 or 2004. Nicer size for me than today's 116610, so it was an easy choice! I know the craziness, but it is always fun to explore the new world! Thanks,...
congrats Ken with the mark 1 and the interesting nato
combination. Is that a F or Y series ? .. did i say congrats ? Cheers !
Great shot Ken!
Nice angle, great sub LV and I love the drummer toy! The green bezel of your sub looks great and very nice contrast with the black dial. Cheers Robin
Thanks, Robin!
Just to clarify, this guy does not look like me - but when I put glasses on, it may, hahaha..... I love this LV and NATO combo for this rainy and muggy season.... Thanks! Ken
The Kermit
is modern sub to have IMO Looks like you have "original" one with Flat 4 and fat O Once more impeccable taste Congrats Damjan
Thanks, Damjan!
Green bezel and black dial looks "natural" as the anniversary model.... My daily beater these days - for muggy and rainy season. Surprisingly satisfying watch. Ken
Always great to welcome....
.....YET ANOTHER moderator on the ROLEX forum!!! Great picture....and i love the toy too!!
Thanks Baron!
Problem is... I have forgot where I put it.... :-( I can't remember now.... But will pop up in the future here! Ken
very nice NATO! brings out the green in the bezel...
You have done nicely Ken! The black/grey NATO really brings out the green bezel, looks very nice. I see you are very happy and beating your drum. :)
Welcome to the Rolex club my friend
Is this your first? Great choice and this model remains one of my "must have" to complete my Rolex collection.
Nice picture of yourself with your watch!
Wait a minute Ken. I know you can hit the drums, but I don't recall you wore glasses! Nice watch. Your crown is also upright in the locked position!
