Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
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.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 2:01 pmIf it looks awesome when it arrives, I don't wanna see it.

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.

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
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.”

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
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?Guyinwatch wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 9:56 am Received shipping notice today.

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.

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
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.Guyinwatch wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 10:43 amBuy it on the australian site for less than elsewhere.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 10:02 amThat's awesome.

... What time is it?

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.

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
A few new on the way...
Partial to Certinas, and they are very undervalued / findable at value prices... Needed a purple dial...Duward a Spanish brand:
Just thought this was cool, and a good deal at $40 while most are selling for $200+
Edit: Make that 4...damned sellers keep accepting lowball offers.
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.
