$43 buck Vostok Amphibia for me... 15 dollars worth of parts ordered and once delivered will be as good as new. Taken on a lovely crisp Christchurch morning.

Morning all.
Very fortunate and honoured to have been gifted this from my dad. It was his father's, my grandfather's. Presented to my grandad in 1958 my the South Wales Wholesale Dairyman. Other than a receipt for a service in 1970 I haven't had chance to research any further yet.
My Dad rarely wore it and last wore it 7-8 years ago, however just a couple of shakes and off it went. Keeping pretty descent time however I will ensure it is given a light once over when a get back to NZ.
Means a lot and it is quite a stunner in person IMHO.
Have a good weekend all.

This is the kind of history I think we would all like to create with our purchases. Congratulations on having a part of your own history and it being a significant watch too. I am sure many of us wish we had a similiar story. You must have felt great when that second hand took off.Originally posted by Hammers View PostMorning all.

Lovely Friday indeed. Something a bit different today.

Is that right, didn't; know that (had always though (wrongly) it'd fallen off as they are somewhat prone to do... but they left the Martin Sheen 6105 alone, still massively recognisable piece imo
Thanks for this info

Was sorely tempted to keep it as is, with the crazed glass, however its perfect underneath and its a prick to read, so will fit the new glass and away we go... must have been a decent impact to break it in the first place.Originally posted by harlansmart View PostComment

Not having the best Fri 13th. Courier has 'lost' package I sent to Christchurch, so that's $1650 I'm out already. Oven quite literally blew up! Molten steel and smoke everywhere - at least Fisher & Paykel are sending somebody out to check even though it's 5 yrs old. After the 3rd attempt from Christopher Ward to get me my watch - ordered on June 15th - they've finally got it as far as somewhere. Where that somewhere is, nobody knows, least of all me. So, even more haggling with them to get another one sent or get my money back. I'm going home before anything really bad happens.
If I think of something witty, I'll be sure to write it here.Comment
