Tony Duronio wrote: Would it be a stretch by saying this case/crown/and bezel are similar??????? Yea I saw that. I had almost grabed one of those with the ss bracelet when they were on SAH. For the price it better be twice as good. But I do wonder if the case was made in the same hose or bought off the same shelf one. May have to look into that more. To bad TT is in Basel I'd shoot a query to see if he could recall who built that Corvette.

But curiosity got the better of me so I just ordered a Corvette. I figure if I don't want to keep it I know a Corvette nut that would love it. LOL :D

I saw a post on WYS forum they had purchased 100 cases of an existing divewatch from a car company or something, so this is probably it, they share the same case, but the dial hands and backcase is all changed.....I still love the ZINEX dial with the vintage look......pre-order on the way...... smile8.gif

I decided to Email them and ask a few question about my pre-order, here is what ZINEX rep told me......here is the actual Email..... From: ZINEX WATCH Date: 4/3/2008 9:28:48 PM To: Steve....... Subject: Re: My pre-order Nitrox Hi Steve....thanks for your Email...... The Nitrox shares the same case with a couple of other brands I belive, we had an oppourtunity to purchase 100 of these last year from a distributor, we felt the watch had the charecteristic of a classic design in particular the bezel, this is a high quality machined 316 case that is well made, with double O'ring heavy internal wall thickness and great feel once it is on the wrist. I am a hardcore diver myself and I can see there are few things that this case is lacking such as a crown guard, perhaps a lum point on the bezel, but overall we think it is still a very nice diver. We had to completley take it a part, use the main body and steel housing that holds the movement, creat a brand new mold for the stainless steel back case with our specification, creat a new set of mold for the hour, minute and second hand due to specific dial size, new dial design ( ZINEX exclusive ), we also had to source a heavier higher quality with brush finish SS screw linked bracelet for this case to match the estatic appearance of the case. So a significant amount of work and funds has gone into developing the Nitrox and we are very happy with the final result. This is why we could have pictures of the watch already available since we had the case. Please rest assure when it is completed it will be as attractive as the pictures you have seen so far, it will be a substantial piece we assure you. If for any reason you feel it's not what you wanted, please rest assure you can return it for a full refund according to our policy. We want to make sure you love your Nitrox....... Kind Regards, Joe..... Zinex Watch...... I really like their return policy and their CS sofar....

Yaaaappp, at somepoint you could have bought one with that funky plastic dial couple of years back, but after what the Zinex guys done to everything else in it now its around $725.00.......I guess you can't even get the ETA movement for less than a couple of bills now......I ordered one with SS bracelet...it looks cool to me anyway.....

Yea both the old SAH and ShopNBC had dropped the prices to crazy low prices in a clearance sale. There are still a few left but not at the super low price anymore. But still far below list price.

Well I'll have to wait for Joe to get back from Basel but i may have locked myself in a low number on one of these Zinex Divers. ;) I noticed the Corvette's are a LE too. I've picked up quite a few LE watches over the last year. :D
