I waited about 8 weeks for my Sub C no-date here in NZ. I put a deposit down, and was told if I changed my mind once the watch arrived , they would refund the deposit - since they knew it would selll...
Thanks for all the complimentary comments.
I guess I am seeing this one as an end to collecting. A watch that I will wear and enjoy, and hopefully not feel too precious about - especially once I...
After about 2 months wait for it to arrive, I picked this up from the Rolex dealer in Auckland about 3 weeks ago. I inherited an Airking from my grandfather a few years ago, and didn't see myself...
That's great. Bezel almost looks grey.
Thanks for all the help guys. Looks like I will just sort it myself.
Hello all. I haven't posted for quite a while and only recently started visiting again. Some advice here would be much appreciated. I've put down a hefty deposit on a new Rolex Sub 114060, and am...
I've had mine for a few years now. Bought it from Seiya. Pleased to say it syncs randomly overnight every couple of weeks, and I live in NZ! I just leave it by a west facing window. Cost a lot more...

That dial variation on yours is great, similar to the rare 300m one with paddle hands I think. This is my vintage version, hand wind not auto:

Bygone era. But will it return?
Thanks MarkB. Great links.
Top right for me. What is the history of the Fortis cosmonaut then? Have they been used by real cosmonauts and if so when did they begin to replace Russian made watches used by cosmonaut - like the...
Not the best value, but looks pretty good imho:

Looks great. That was a quick trip down here. Not much delay in customs then? I would like one to replace my fleabay Franken. I'm presuming GST fee is required?
Bare below the elbows most of the time for me, but most of my time is spent wielding an endoscope of some sort and it can get a bit messy. My watch lies on a table in the corner of the theatre most...

The vintage Doxa posted earlier is way nicer though!
Some of mine, I'm a fan

Just a thought , but are you sure your PMD 256 isn't syncing? Mine isn't supposed to, but it somehow manages to catch the Japanese time signal here in NZ once a week or so. I guess it may be...
When I moved country I had to close my UK Paypal account completely and open a new one in NZ.
Agreed. I paid about the same, ordered from Seiya and delivered to NZ. Really nice watch. Supposed only to radio sync in Japan, but mine manages the sync about once in 10 days, here in NZ - so that...
Me too. I've got a hankering for that vintage looking gold one too. Agonising now over the choice of Thai or China made, 2039 or 2099 module. I've got a GWM 5600, but the old style just looks better...

Vostok amphibian with 200m water resistance and an innovative simple screw down crown, suitable for daily unscrewing and winding. I...
