😬 If it looks awesome when it arrives, I don't wanna see it. 🤣 Maybe I should have ordered one of these. I'm still left wondering if I let perfect be the enemy of pretty damn good on this one. Ok, ok, for your sake I hope it's every bit as cool as I'm worried it might be.

I bought their Hudson 38 and flipped it. We'll see how this one looks when it gets here (hopefully) on Thursday.

I am tempted to open it up to verify that the movement is actually Top Grade. If the bracelet is at least decent, it'll be a steal.

I like that it has hesalite glass. Would like to know how the bezel is implemented...unidirectional? Bi-directional? No-click? 12-click? 60-click? 120-click? Like the 12h second timezone, would be cool if they went with a bezel implementation that complements.

Edit: Looks like bI-directional, guessing no-click. From the KS launch page: “ The Skymaster 38 houses the high-quality Swiss Made ETA 2894-2 Automatic movement and has a 12H GMT bi-directional bezel to keep track of an additional timezone.”

That's awesome. Looking forward to some pics. I've never been a very big CW fan. But this is the first one I've ever considered buying for myself. Very cool watch. I'm guessing there are no discounts for this?

Buy it on the australian site for less than elsewhere.
https://au.christopherward.com/watches/ ... 0-sapphire I bought mine with a $170 aud coupon and it came out to less than $800 US. The code was 170sun20 but this was a while ago and not sure it still works.

Thanks man. Still works and brings it to just over $800 on the bracelet if Google's conversion is correct. Gives me something to think about. My next big purchase is supposed to get me from point A to point B. I don't think this will do the trick but it definitely looks good.

With their 20% off sale on top of clearance pricing, this Daluca strap was too hard to resist.
Looks like the keeper could be slightly jacked, but for over $100 off, I should be able to live with it.
Final price was about $56 + shipping.

The Aquastar was very populat and supplied many different brands in the 60’s...

Timex Expedition T47012. A bit odd, but Amazon had them for just $9 a pop.
