Kobold Artic Diver preorder deal expires Apr. 15

Not a cheep watch, but worth mentioning.

This watch is one of the Swiss production, and offers a date option.   The previous Kobold divers did not have a date feature, with some exceptions.

There is allot of other watches that you can purchase it this price range.  I enjoy all of my Kobolds.  They have proven to good tool watches that just work well.

They do offer free shipping on orders over $20, but in the watch world free is a relative term.

the watch was supposed to be sold out?...I ordered mine in Jan and delivery was supposed to be Apr.15 but they called and said there was a delay and it wouldn't be ready until mid Jun/Jul and gave those who ordered a $250. voucher at Kobold for future purchaseshand6.gif...aparrently some may have cancelled due to the delay and got their deposits back

Or they just upped the production number.  That is what I would have told them to do if asked.

They have never been on time with a watch to date, why start now.

seems everyone dealing with Fricker has delays :D...the watch is worth waiting for and Kobold CS was very nice in calling personally to let me know of the delay and putting a nice $250. credit on my Kobold account imho hand6.gif

That is the truth.  They have not hurd that we are in an economic contraction, they are giving the same excusses they gave a year ago.

I know that Mike asks for specific upgades but this is not rocket science.  I had to learn rocket science (fluid mechanics of compressible liquids) to learn that this is not rocket science.

Great looking watch... I wish I understood how the price ranges from $1,850 for Arctic Diver all the way to $4,500 + for Soarway Diver?

Not sure, if I would get this watch or ZINEX SUPER SUBMARINE ?

The Soraway diver is $3750 because it has a pedigree and comes with upgraded packaging and stainless bracelet.

The Arctic Diver that is $5650 shares no parts in common with the Swiss one other than the upper case and case back.  It too comes with a lot of goodies.  The movement modifications of the "American" Arctic diver take a lot of time and are done my hand for the most part.
