Genuine Watch Wrist Check for August 2020

Recommended Posts

Intresting

@Thommo82 how long did it take for the watch to reach our golden shores?   Did you get whacked by customs?

I ordered through chrono24 and from payment I think it took 8-9 days.

No customs.

Pretty sure I saw if you order from Formex they guarantee no extra charges

I am Ed.

You?

Things are a tad slow (work wise), so I'm cruising at the moment.

Ta mate.  Will have a good look see weekend.  They seem a step up to the Steinharts and Squales.

Cruising and getting paid is good my friend.  Mucking around with flammables at the moment.  Waiting for it all to set. .....

For sure

I say it’s the best value for money watch on the market at the price point. 
Many other brands are doing much less for 3 times the price

Show us a pic of the bracelet clasp when you next wear it :)

As requested, double pusher butterfly clasp with ceramic ball bearings. Last two pics show the extendable clasp, gives you about 4-5mm extra for those hot afternoons.

Hey Del-

Would you mind getting me (or the group) some detail photos of the case? Things like the chamfers in particular, as I believe you mentioned getting this beauty NOS? So many (most) from this era have been repolished at least once, and often the original chamfer on the lugs is just all wrong.

 

Thanks in advance!

Popped the INOX on a rubber. With Corona virus out there it’s best to be safe.

I certainly don’t mind taking some pics but this was not NOS so has been refurbished/polished at some point. In light of this, are pics still of interest?

Still of interest to me, yes. 
 

I have some photos of never polished (original owner since new) 90’s GMTs but they might be different, though I doubt it. 
 

you can PM them if you are more comfortable with that. Totally up to you.
