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 weekboy10.gif

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 subtlelaugh.gif


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 plasmatoon1.gif 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

I have 6 that I built/modded since this time last year too, I can't wait to complete my last project for now, a vintage diver style.

Great to see you Griff! Hope we'll be seeing more of you.Thumbsup3.gif

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!wowzer.gif
