What's a Nivada?

So I am home in Australia. My mother just wandered down the hall and said 'hey, you like watches, this was your grandpa's...is it any good?' I had never heard of Nivada. My grandfather passed away in 1990, and this has apparently been sitting in my mother's drawer since my grandmother's passing in 2...

Re: aussie watch

My rose gold Portsea arrived yesterday but there are some very curious looking dots on the dial. Looked online and none others seem to have these. Just emailed customer service...it may be going back. http://s29.postimg.org/geft57qvn/IMG_20160206_082324.jpg I get the impression this isn't the first...

Re: Vostok Amphibia mods

yeah, at the end of the day all I have really done is paint the bezel dots and change NATOs on it (since you could argue that I could have just bought the one with this dial to begin with! but because it was a prank gift, extra surgery was required...) Hope you guys liked some of the Vietnam street ...

Re: Vostok Amphibia mods

So as with my post upthread, I own a KGB Vostok. http://s9.postimg.org/affciu1of/20151229_095452.jpg The back-story to this thing is that it was a joke gift from my sister in law, who apparently thinks I would make the world's worst spy. My wife is Russian, her sister picked this up on a clearance s...

Re: I need some colour in my diver collection

Seiko 009...Pepsi bezel thing....hundred-n-fifty-buck classic. Then throw it on a NATO and that's about all the color you will ever need.

Re: Non CW of the Day

The new 57. It won't get much wrist time in its current form. Waiting on some parts for this for a mod-job. Ultimate plan is to make it into "Fathom Bay"...Black Bay dial, FF hands (both rose gold trim) and then sail cloth strap. Should be fun to play with. http://s2.postimg.org/i9t8l1a6x/...

Re: Brady Sailcloths

I bought one from the USA website no issues. What is the concern? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No real concern, just thinking if there was a place I could happen-by and scoop-up, then I would. Alternately, a UK website with local shipping rates rather than international shipping to Vietnam (w...

Re: Brady Sailcloths

No problem. I am London bound shortly, is there a UK retailer for them? The website seems US based.
