Hey all, it's been awhile, lots going on to even try to describe (plus I was building more than buying), so I'll just show some 2010 arrivals, starting from around February/March through to last week I grabbed this on a sale, wanted one for years but wouldn't/couldn't pay full price, a YES Cozmo (on Hirsch Extreme)  Blowout sale on these with a leather strap, swapped it out for rubber to scratch a big diver itch:  Same thing with a field watch itch, another sale:  I love the look of the Milgauss but not the price of the real thing, so how about an eBay homage for $30(!) Runs spot on too, and the DiModell strap was the same price as the watch   I bought this cheap to mod, but other than changing out the folded link bracelet for a Z-22 I may leave it stock:  An April birthday present from my wife and kids, after discounts and "Kohl's Cash" it was almost free(!)  While looking to scratch a Vostok itch, I spotted this and couldn't resist this time around, I thought they were gone for good:  I've wanted an Alpinist for a long time, I finally broke down and said what the heck!  Same with this, saw one on a sales corner, missed it, tracked down a vendor in Spain:  And finally, another I've been wanting for quite awhile, found out there were only a few left, sold some plasma  and snagged it: I built and modded a few watches from last summer through the winter time, I have one more project left so I'll post them all in the modders forum when I complete it. Cheers, Griff |

Great to see you Griff! Hope we'll be seeing more of you. My you have been a busy boy. Love the Alpinist especially!. I have been thinking about the Momentum quartz diver I sold some time back. That's a kick ass grab and go diver. And I'm glad you had some plasma to sell for the Precista... cool watch! Nice pickups buddy!  |

That is a great chrono from Vostok you have, keep that bad boy it has a Poljot 3133 movement as far as I know. 26.gif |

Yes, the Vostok chrono does have a 3133. Those watches were never "official" as they don't exist in either the Vostok or Poljot catalogs, but were made nonetheless :-) There is a series, all Vostok mil style dials, my favorite was always the green but there are multiple black versions too. A fellow over on the Russian forum at WUS has/had them all, including the very rare airforce jet version. |
