Is it possible to view these somewhere?
No it is not, these are substantially parts. It is not sale items like on the OF sales forum. You order an item and they pull from stock. You could lookup completed sales on eBay for watchco (under seller name abouttime-ch),
or do search on google images if you are interested in something and don't know what it look like.

Tried another mail this afternoon with a further enquiry but no response so far. I think telephone option is out for calls to an office in NZ during normal European times. May try again tomorrow if still no email answers.

NZ phone/office time should be opening within next hour or so: So it should be possible to call from Europe in evening time.

What do you guys think about Future resale value of These pieces? Now that Omega has cut of the supply and watchco basicly no longer producing them....i've seen some watchco's go on eBay over the last couple of month for around 3k. Is it unrealistic to hope that they will hold this Value? I'm more then tempted.

I am building one because they look so F-n awsome on the wrists of the members here. Got the mesh in today.

Ash's, gone but not forgotten.

Has to be on mesh imo, but it does cause your chest hair and beard to grow and make you fight the urge to roll your own unfiltered cigarettes even if you've never been a smoker. Also shirts don't seem necessary any longer when wearing an SM300 on mesh.

For those other members here in Germany: unfortunately Marcus doesn't send/offer his Ebay items anymore to Germany. Through that it's no more possible, to list his Ebay items, when your computer ist located in Germany.

There were problems with German customs. They have held his parcels for long time (I was waiting 8 weeks for one) and customs have destroyed two deliverys with cases and dials from watchco because of the suspect of copies, which they weren't, but customs destroyed them.

Agree about the mesh. Already have the beard and chest hair but I'll keep the shirt on, I'm not the prettiest when in a state of undress.

Update.
These are being sent out NZ post, which hands off to DHL, which makes for fast delivery in 2 days.

I was going to phone what I thought was an office in Aukland when I noticed the telephone number on facebook is for Melbourne so still an hour to wait.
I thought they had moved to NZ.
Are they still in Australia ?
In which country are the watches ?

That's a bummer...thanks for the Info.

I asked Giverny those questions the other day just to clarify for all. They are in Auckland, the watches/materials are in Auckland, she is in Auckland. The Australian number still works to reach them (must be on some sort of forward).

Giverny added that Auckland is lovely 😀
