    Looks like one of those lower end private label, 1960's, diver inspired watches that had ETA based manual wind movements, stainless or plated base metal cases, and base metal/alu bezels. Those hands appear on a ton of these watches. Neat little piece.

    An envelope of Serbian air because you know an EMS document envelope was a brilliant way to seller to send a Zenith Defy or the seller is not an idiot just a full on scammer. They seemed pretty normal in messaging pre purchase. My first encounter with eBay's dispute system in over 100 transactions lies ahead.

    An old magazine. Because who can resist a cigarette box that plays tick-tack-toe?

    I like it!

    I even thought about not posting up, knowing that I had taken my Speedyorite off before going out to work in the yard :p...

    Perhaps if it's a slow night tomorrow night on Omegaforums, we should start a WWUW :thumbsup:, and see what happens! :D

    I don't know how would it feel to buy a watch from DT, but remotely buying from cash converters aint exactly recommended...

    This time, however, temptation was too powerful, and as the saying goes, the liquor is strong, but the meat is rotten... or was it the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak?

    The craziness of collecting mechanical chronographs has me deviating towards quartz!...This cool Seiko just landed. For a very sweet price I get an analog split seconds chrono that can measure elapsed time in 1/10s of a second!

    And yet another guitar...:eek:
